| 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. |
