| Elementary |
| Our academic goals for our elementary
students are to develop a genuine love of learning and to foster
a capacity for original thought. The curriculum is exploratory,
integrative and challenging. We follow and enhance the Massachusetts
Curriculum Frameworks including English, Mathematics, Social
Studies, Science, and a foreign language. In addition, we teach
art, music, drama, geography, technology, and physical education. |

 |
| Our elementary program
affords the opportunity for substantial flexibility in addressing
the individual needs of each student. To enable this, the class
sizes are kept small with a maximum of 10 students in a class.
Children are grouped according to their age and ability level.
An important aspect of the curriculum is the integration of
various academic subjects around a particular theme. This instills
a strong academic base, a cultural appreciation, and an environmental
awareness. The curriculum is enriched by guest speakers and
by field trips to the extensive natural and community resources
available to us. |
| Afterschool
Programs |
| Our
elementary students have the opportunity to participate in our
afterschool clubs which is part of our enrichment program. We
offer structured age-appropriate activities including academic,
creative, recreation and sports. For more information about
our clubs see our posting to the right. |

For families needing a longer day we also offer extended care
