At The Cushman School, every child is gifted.
It is the job of our teachers to find that special gift of every student.
We celebrate and respect the individuality and differences of each child.
We strengthen their minds and bodies and nurture their sensitivities.
We challenge students academically and socially and encourage them to be the very best they can be in the classroom and within their communities.
At The Cushman School, our aim is to develop and educate the “whole child” through a strong core curriculum complemented by wholesome participation in real living experiences.
The mission of The Cushman School is to develop students as responsible citizens and effective future leaders who maintain a positive approach to life.
The educational environment at our school fosters in all students the qualities of virtue, responsibility, respect for self and others, and nurtures the student in intellectual, physical and spiritual growth.
