School Overview
Overview
At School Of The New Moon, we provide an extended family atmosphere where cooperation and mutual support are stressed.
From a background of the Montessori Method and the British Integrated Day Program, we are concerned with the ethical, mental, emotional and physical development of each child.
By providing skills for each child's emotional and social progress, the child becomes more capable of interacting with his environment and learning from his experience.
The curriculum includes Language Arts, Math, Science, Geography, Social Studies, Music, Art and Drama.
Each year we study a different country and immerse ourselves in the music, dress, natural resources, foods, customs, language, holidays and art of that culture.
The children are encouraged to create their own dramatic productions which they present to their classmates in our "Little Theater," a separate building.
High Meadow is a progressive, independent school that fosters creative and intellectual discovery, civic engagement, and personal growth through a relevant, rigorous curriculum.
Our diverse and inclusive culture honors each child`s approach to constructing knowledge, and encourages risk-taking in academic and artistic pursuits.
We celebrate the joy of learning and the power of community by joining teachers, students and parents through volunteerism and school-wide cultural events.
