Boxberry School Small classes, multi-age groupings, flexible curricula, and time to experiment and explore enable us to support children who are at many different educational levels.
Our program recognizes that every child’s innate curiosity and interests are an integral part of their academic success and that each child’s mind is unique.
We seek to build children’s confidence and knowledge by offering a curriculum that addresses multiple ways of learning a school atmosphere that supports creativity with a teaching that asks for critical thinking.
Teachers employ a hands-on, interactive, theme-based approach to classroom topics.
Skills in language, math, sciences and social studies will be addressed as students delve into aspects of the current theme that interests them.
We recognize and value the many ways that children learn.
Class sizes at the Boxberry School are small to allow teachers to identify and work with each child's learning style.
Our custom-built school is an inspiring center for learning and exploration.
Spacious classrooms, filled with natural light, create a perfect environment for solving a math puzzle, painting a masterpiece, or for getting lost in a book.
Our vision for Boxberry School includes the building of deep, long-lasting relationships between students, teachers, parents and the greater Oxford Hills community.
We especially see the participation of parents in school activities as an integral part of the learning process.
