School Notes:

You treasure your child’s uniqueness. So does The Gardner School! Whether your child is a reader, a talker, a mover and shaker, a math whiz, a musician, a doodler, a deep thinker, a nature lover, or a combination…we have the methods that will foster critical thinking, self-confidence and mastery. Those methods are informed by the work of Dr. Howard Gardner, recognized world wide for his pioneering Theory of Multiple Intelligences which defines eight intelligences: Verbal/Linguistic, Interpersonal, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Logical/Mathematical, Musical, Visual/Spatial, Intrapersonal, and Naturalist. Gardner School students learn how they learn and identify and use their strengths to be able problem solvers. The Gardner School builds skills in all the intelligences in progressive multi-level classes. We combine a traditional curriculum based on state and national benchmarks with art, music, foreign language and physical education to develop your whole child for a successful and happy future. Come Explore The Gardner School…a different school of thought.
