Support that surrounds the child
A network built so that no student, teacher, or family is working the problem alone.
We are committed to supporting the academic, social, and emotional growth of every student.
The goal is to help children develop into motivated, engaged, independent, and confident learners within a collaborative, inquiry-based environment.
The LEARN Team
An integrated network of support for students, teachers, and families.
- Director of Teaching and Learning
- Director of Student and Community Life
- Two Math Coordinators
- Literacy Interventionist
Together these educators partner with classroom teachers and the Head of School to design a learning environment that is both nurturing and challenging, meeting students where they are while helping them grow to their fullest potential.
Partnering with families
Supporting students means supporting the adults around them. Parent education runs all year, sometimes as a guest expert on campus and sometimes as a small conversation.
