Building Communities

From pre-kindergarten on, our students think of themselves as members of communities – in and out of the classroom. Classrooms are intimate peer-learning communities. Instruction incorporates numerous collaborative projects and emphasizes shared values:

  • Citizenship;
  • Respect for others;
  • Empathy;
  • Working together to solve problems.

Social responsibility and global citizenship are emphasized throughout our curriculum and in cocurricular activities. Students come to recognize that they belong to an global community. Through service learning and other related activities, students form connections that expand their world.

A Challenging & Supportive Environment

The Elementary School combines academic rigor with a nurturing, homelike and supportive environment. Our curriculum provides a solid foundation in:

  • Traditional core subject areas: English language arts, mathematics, social studies and science;
  • Spanish and French language instruction to build language skills
  • physical education; and
  • multiple branches of the arts: visual arts, theatre and music

(For details about the curriculum, see our Elementary School Curriculum Guide.)

Students learn to set – and meet – high goals in every area. Meanwhile, teachers, learning specialists and counselors are committed to helping children tackle any special challenges they encounter.
