Since 1985, the Progressive Schoolhouse facility has provided the community with educational programs designed to nurture, validate and support the unique learning potential of each individual student.
Our educational approach is comprehensive and individualized to meet the developmental needs of its students.
Our developmental philosophy accepts that all children are inherently unique, yet similar in the way they develop and grow.
Development in children is broadly defined as sequential, physical, intellectual and emotional.
Children also show sequential growth in their language, moral and social development.
