Why Preschool Through Third Grade?
“The beginning is the most important part of the work”- Plato
Concord Hill is designed to focus on the early years of development. As an age 3 to grade 3 school we provide the first schooling experience for children and families alike. We recognize the profound responsibility and unique opportunity we have to lay a solid foundation for lifelong learning. At Concord Hill we believe the early years of a child’s life are the most impactful, and therefore their first educational experience is an investment for a lifetime.
Our focus on preschool through grade 3 allows us to nurture children from their earliest educational moments, fostering positive attitudes toward learning that will benefit them throughout their lives. We understand that the early years are pivotal; brain research consistently supports the idea that the developmental phases between birth and grade 3 are the most formative. At Concord Hill, we aim to leverage this crucial period to build a strong foundation for future success.
- Social Development: Our students learn to navigate social interactions, develop independence, and collaborate effectively with peers. We emphasize respect and empathy, helping children build meaningful relationships.
- Academic Growth: In a supportive environment tailored for young learners, children develop essential skills, including problem-solving, creativity, and intellectual curiosity. We encourage them to take risks and explore new ideas, laying the groundwork for future academic achievements.
At Concord Hill School, we are proud to provide an extraordinary early childhood education that not only prepares students for academic success but also instills in them the qualities of effective leaders and lifelong learners. Our commitment to this formative stage in their lives is a gift that will serve them well throughout their educational and personal journeys.
