School History
Overview
At St. Timothy's School, we believe the foundation for a life of integrity, service, and purpose begins with smaller, everyday moments.
We educate intentionally in each moment--a thought-provoking conversation in language arts, a first try at a new technique in art class, or a hard-fought game on the athletic field.
We cherish every opportunity for our students to demonstrate compassion, to solve problems with diligence and creativity, to learn through a lens of both faith and reason, and to build the confidence and skills that will prepare them for all that life's journey holds.
Our St. Timothy's community knows that every moment matters because it all starts here.
From PreK through 12th grade, Ravenscroft fosters a love of learning and inquiry with a robust curriculum that offers differentiated instruction, project-based learning, and exploration of global programs, STEM, the humanities and fine arts. Our low teacher-to-student ratio allows us to nurture the individual potential and passion of every child. At the same time, all students are taught through the lens of Lead From Here, our citizen leadership framework, which develops the creative and critical thinking skills required of effective leaders today.
Ravenscroft serves students in PreKindergarten through 12th grade and is divided into three divisions: Lower School, Middle School and Upper School, each with individual directors.
The enrollment of the school is approximately 1,254 students.
