Atrium School
School Notes Overview:
The Atrium School educates children from Kindergarten through sixth grade through a curriculum rooted in the tenets of progressive education. Atrium teachers inspire and nurture the whole child -- the intellectual, the creative, the emotional, the social, and the physical. As a small school we know and value each child as a learner and a friend. An Atrium classroom is one of affirmation and challenge. At the Atrium School, children are encouraged to build on their distinct experiences. Each child engages in a process of discovery that recognizes his or her uniqueness within a community of learners. This process fosters growing responsibility for one’s own development and an increasing sense of independence and self-reliance. This community, made up of children, parents, teachers, and administrators, holds at its core the growth and development of each child....
