About the Program:
Here at Shady Hill, we offer a fundamentally different way of teaching and learning for children in pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8. Since 1915, Shady Hill has taught students to think, to question, and to consider multiple perspectives and then transform their ideas into meaningful action.
While there are innumerable ways that Shady Hill profoundly shapes each student’s experience, five dimensions in particular stand out to me:
Expert, Caring Faculty—Our outstanding teachers know each of our students as individuals and guide as well as instruct them in discovery and exploration.
Joyful Learning—Our student-centered approach promotes independent thinking, creativity, and healthy risk-taking while developing an ethical mindset. Older students engage with younger ones, reinforcing their roles as community leaders and contributors.
Central Subject—In Grades 3–8, students spend the year studying an overarching topic through literature, geography, writing, and history. Before Grade 3, classes pursue a variety of Thematic Studies, each embracing the Central Subject methodology but in shorter, age-appropriate units.
Campus—Our beautiful campus has a small-village feel. Students use its open spaces, natural areas, and wetlands as extended learning spaces as they observe and explore their world.
Teacher Training Center—Each year, our renowned program brings 18 aspiring teachers to campus. The benefit is two-way. The apprentices train to be progressive educators while our faculty keeps abreast of innovative trends and best practices in education.
