- Norwood believes that school should be, in the words of our Founder, Frances Marsh, “a happy place of learning for children… filled with art and music… where each child feels supported and valued.” Norwood is a happy place; it also is a demanding place. We challenge students and expect them to challenge themselves, but we do so in an environment that is nurturing, supportive, and reflective of our belief that learning at its best is a joyful process.
