Overview
The Harmony Schools offers a developmental curriculum implemented by dedicated professionals in chronologically age-based classrooms, enhanced by the latest materials and technology.
The vehicle for shaping this environment is a participative management team, sensitive to best practices in early childhood research and business.
Our curriculum is based on a developmental philosophy, meaning that children are unique and develop at their own pace when in a supportive, enriched environment.
Children are grouped chronologically to mirror the experience they will have when they enter private or public elementary school programs.
The day is a combination of child directed and teacher directed activities.
The mission of The Harmony Schools, Inc. is to provide high quality, comprehensive early childhood programs for children, resulting in peace of mind and satisfaction for their parents.
We foster independent, cognitive and emotional growth for each child by creating nurturing learning environments.
Chapin School welcomes students from preschool through grade eight. Our students are curious, engaged learners whose families value our belief that lifelong habits of mind and heart are formed in the elementary and middle school years.
For over ninety years, Chapin School has provided an educational environment that supports inquisitive learning, builds confidence and leadership, and encourages students to explore and blossom through a wide variety of curricular and co-curricular experiences.
This focused approach gives our students advantages by providing more leadership opportunities in developmentally appropriate ways, inspiring them to take academic risks and develop their sense of community.
The Chapin "C`s" become an intrinsic part of each Chapin student through a continual focus on Character, Curriculum, and Community.
