School Notes

Our British Primary philosophy promotes the simple notion that when students enjoy what they`re doing and take an active role in their education, learning becomes a joy and a lifelong endeavor.
We carefully blend an academic program for Pre-K to 8 students that is grounded in fundamental skills with an attention to each child`s social and emotional development.
Academics at Stanley are built upon our 7 Goals for Learners: Self-Awareness, Collaboration, Respect, Curiosity, Perseverance, Academic Resourcefulness and Lifelong Learning.

We welcome you to visit Stanley British Primary School, a progressive, independent school serving children from Pre-K through 8th grade.
We are a private institution with a public purpose focused on developing children who love to learn and who are prepared to make a positive difference in the world.
At Stanley, your child`s education goes well beyond academics. Our teachers and our instruction principles give your children the opportunity to reach their full potential academically, creatively, socially, emotionally and physically.
We believe that when you embrace the whole child - all aspects of who they are as a person - the child is better able to learn and to flourish.
We have a fundamental commitment to diversity at all levels within our school from staff recruitment and retention to board leadership and we continue to strive to ensure Stanley is a true reflection of our community.

I have 2 very different children, both attending Stanley and I can't tell you how much I appreciate and value their experiences there. Stanley grows children in their academics, resourcefulness, critical thinking skills, creativity, social responsibility, and world awareness. Absolutely amazing school.

Two of our kids attended Stanley K-8. They are two very different kids, but navigated a big urban high school with so many assets honed at Stanley: Self-advocacy, independence, ability to collaborate. Great experience with teachers that really care!
