About the School
- Boxberry School Small classes, multi-age groupings, flexible curricula, and time to experiment and explore enable us to support children who are at many different educational levels.
- Our program recognizes that every child’s innate curiosity and interests are an integral part of their academic success and that each child’s mind is unique.
- We seek to build children’s confidence and knowledge by offering a curriculum that addresses multiple ways of learning a school atmosphere that supports creativity with a teaching that asks for critical thinking.
- Teachers employ a hands-on, interactive, theme-based approach to classroom topics.
- Skills in language, math, sciences and social studies will be addressed as students delve into aspects of the current theme that interests them.
- We recognize and value the many ways that children learn.
- Class sizes at the Boxberry School are small to allow teachers to identify and work with each child's learning style.
- Our custom-built school is an inspiring center for learning and exploration.
- Spacious classrooms, filled with natural light, create a perfect environment for solving a math puzzle, painting a masterpiece, or for getting lost in a book.
- Our vision for Boxberry School includes the building of deep, long-lasting relationships between students, teachers, parents and the greater Oxford Hills community.
- We especially see the participation of parents in school activities as an integral part of the learning process.
