Program accomplishments
- Berkwood Hedge School operates a Kindergarten through eighth-grade full-time education program. Our schools constructivist approach is based on the understanding that children construct their knowledge of the world through active and collaborative exploration of their learning environment. Each day in our classrooms childrens natural curiosity motivates them to learn and grow as individuals. Our experienced teachers create child-centered environments with lively discussion collaboration social interaction and play. They understand that learning happens on a developmental continuum unique to each student and children proceed on individual timelines. The curriculum is built around themes that interest children and connect to their lives. Students are given time to question experiment and reflect deeply on the ideas they encounter as they explore literature mathematics science and the arts. Critical thinking skills develop as children actively pursue meaning independently and cooperatively. Through careful observation as well as more formal assessments teachers develop an awareness of what each child needs to help create meaning and understanding at every stage. Using this knowledge teachers provide tools experiences and purposeful instruction that challenge and engage students at just the right level helping all students learn and progress throughout the year.Expenses $3,425,090 · grants $1,248,844 · revenue $3,695,292
