ABOUT US PRESCHOOL ELEMENTARY ADMISSION NEWS GREEN SCHOOL FACULTY SUPPORT LAUREL
A Creative Path to Academic Achievement
History and Background
In the fall of 1982, Constance Michnay and three young children came together each school day in donated basement space to discover the joy of learning. Ms. Michnay's educational philosophy was that children learn best when they are treated with love and respect and when academic content is presented in a variety of ways including artistic expression. Also, Ms. Michnay taught children to respect themselves, each other, and our fragile Cape Cod environment and her vision continues to serve as the core of The Laurel School's academic program.
In 1994, the William Dobson family generously donated the land and the current building. In a beautiful rural setting, the school is located on a two-and-a-half acre campus, with four playgrounds, a Japanese Meditation Garden, two greenhouses, a friendship garden, peaceful paths in a wooden setting, an open field space and a swimming pool area with changing and shower rooms.
Population and Geographic Areas Served
The school is a non-profit and non-sectarian institution offering educational programs for boys and girls from preschool through grade five and our families come from Bourne to Provincetown.
For 12 weeks during the summer, we offer a dynamic day camp serving campers from the cape, all over the U.S., and many foreign countries. Camper families give the camp rave reviews and return year after year to enjoy a wonderful Cape Cod family summer experience in a nurturing atmosphere full of play and discovery that embraces the nature and culture of Cape Cod.
The Laurel School is accredited by the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE) and certified by the State Board of Education. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) license the preschool program.
