The Selwyn Difference
Prepare your child to flourish in a changing world
This is not a school where you will find children huddled over endless worksheets or studying to pass state-issued standardized tests. Our academic environment is interactive. Here, students of all ages work together to solve problems, conduct experiments and research in labs, explore the arts, and engage in debates about global issues. Selwyn School not only prepares students for college but for education in all forms and settings.
WHAT MAKES SELWYN DIFFERENT?
- Lessons are coordinated, thoughtfully integrated, clearly articulated, developmentally appropriate, and continuously reviewed.
- We are a non-profit, independent school that meets all the requirements for NAIS membership, including full NAIS-approved accreditation.
- Meaningful assessments and feedback are regularly given to students and parents.
- The Selwyn curriculum results from thoughtful exploration and implementation by our faculty and reflects the diversity of the school, society, and the world.
- Of course, our curriculum is well grounded in academics. We also develop the intellectual, creative, social, physical, ethical and emotional growth of each student.
- As an independent school, we offer differentiated instruction, student-centered teaching and experiential learning.
- We recognize that each student learns differently and we do everything possible to respond accordingly to those needs.
