School Notes:

  • Sabot at Stony Point is an independent school educating children in Preschool (ages 2 1/2 to 5), Lower School (Kindergarten through Fifth Grade) and Middle School (Sixth through Eighth Grade).

    We offer a purposeful, intellectually rigorous curriculum that cultivates a spirit of inquiry and a life-long love of learning.

    At Sabot at Stony Point, we believe that:

    Learning is not a product but an active process.
    Students are active participants in learning, employing problem-solving skills to construct understanding out of prior knowledge and new experiences.

    Learning is grounded in social relationships.
    Students learn through collaboration: they share knowledge and skills, represent ideas through a variety of media, communicate questions and results to peers and teachers, and challenge each other with alternative perspectives.

    Learning depends upon respect for students.
    When students' ideas are treated with respect, they regard themselves as learners and thinkers, and their capacity for intellectual and creative achievement is extraordinary. Our expectations are high because our students are empowered by their thinking.

    Learning is not only about academics.
    In addition to our knowledge of best practices research, we bring to bear expertise in child development. Our curriculum is structured to support students in all realms of their development – social, emotional, moral, and physical, as well as cognitive.
