Our Curriculum

We believe that meaningful learning happens when students are immersed in a dynamic, adaptable environment that honors scientific curiosity, artistic exploration and appreciation, movement, nature, written and spoken communication, reading for knowledge and pleasure, understanding of others and self, and technology.  This multi-disciplinary approach allows for a personalized approach to education rooted in student strength, interest, and personal motivation.

At The Accord School, we believe that the teacher-student relationship is essential in getting students to engage in their learning.  

A typical class size at The Accord School is 7-9 students, so that teachers get to know each student very well and the teacher-student relationships flourish. Teachers listen to students, in and out of the classroom, to carefully select projects, assignments, and teaching style that will interest and engage the students, and set them up to succeed.   

We see each student as a unique learner with individual strengths and interests. We strive to create a wide range of learning experiences to engage students across the formal academic curriculum and through special programming.
