Additional information
From Pre-K through Grade VIII, we create change-makers by teaching students the critical and social-emotional skills necessary to be ethical, contributing citizens of the world. We encourage them to dig deep into the curriculum and realize their potential to create what they wish existed.
Our curriculum advocates depth over breadth, we stress the relationships among many areas of learning and use original source materials, rather than textbooks. Central Subject, a distinctive method of teaching at Shady Hill, is an integrated approach to a people via their history, literature, geography, and arts. We teach 3 World languages (French, Mandarin, and Spanish) and a wide variety of intramural and interscholastic team sports. We also host an afterschool program that lasts until 6:00 PM.
We invite you to learn more about Shady Hill School through our website, viewbook, information sessions and campus tours.
