School Notes Overview: |
We, at The Tesseract School, share a commitment to teamwork, a willingness to meet challenges, and a dedication to lifelong learning. Faculty, students, and parents work together to achieve academic excellence, while celebrating individual achievement. The environment is one in which students feel safe, nurtured, and challenged to meet their potential. The Tesseract philosophy embraces the idea that it is important to educate the whole child. Consequently, our curriculum and teaching methods address cognitive development, and learning across disciplines, while attending to student's creative, physical and emotional development. Our curriculum is grounded in the idea that children and people learn by actively constructing knowledge, not by simply acquiring knowledge. We believe that skills have a purpose and, if taught in a meaningful context, are better learned. The Tesseract School embraces the community of learners philosophy.
