The Greene School

Description

We provide a nurturing and caring environment enhanced by a low teacher-student ratio and personalized learning approach that incorporates individual attention, hands-on experiential learning, and a challenging and well-rounded curriculum. In the process of inspiring and educating children for life, we believe that students must learn how to think, find solutions, leverage their strengths, make good decisions, and become effective communicators. Therefore, we ensure the academic program we offer is of the highest quality. We go to great lengths to hire the best teachers, adopt the best curricula, be open to change, and hold our school to the highest academic standards. And our team models lifelong learning through professional reflection to ensure continuous improvement. In our rapidly changing society, it is not sufficient to merely pass on the wisdom of the ages. We select carefully lessons from the past while simultaneously reimagining education with the tools and capacities of the modern age. We cultivate proficiency in not only the traditional "Three Rs” but also in the Five Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character. We take seriously our responsibility to educate children for a world that we can only anticipate. As educators, we teach children, not subjects. We guide inquiry, encourage innovative thinking, acknowledge perseverance, celebrate success, turn frustration into learning opportunities, awaken social responsibilit
