The Farm School Elementary School
School Notes Overview:
Farm School is a not-for-profit school that emphasizes the academic, emotional and social growth of K-6th grade children. We have a low number of students per teacher, which allows us to provide individualized and hands-on learning. Our multi-age classrooms enhance children's deep understanding by giving all children the chance to be teachers as well as learners. We emphasize developmentally-appropriate education, problem solving skills and independent learning....

School Notes:
- Farm School Students:
- We offer a progressive education
- Students engage in hands-on learning every day
- Kids work at a pace appropriate to their individual needs; they are not held back by the rest of the class nor are they pushed to "cover" content for which they are not yet ready
- Kids have the same set of teachers from year to year so your child's teachers will know him/her very well
- Children are much more than a number or a test score
- Our classrooms are multi-age; students learn from and teach one another
- Music, PE, and Art are an integral part of the curriculum
- We teach for understanding
- We know every child learns differently and teach accordingly
