This Month We Are Studying

plants

Small dendrologists and silviculturalists head out into the woods of County Farm Park. Armed with clipboards and measuring tape, they assess the age of the trees they find. Other children are planning a garden, researching, mapping, measuring and planting. There are studies delving into taxonomy and the classifications of life, students are pulling out the microscopes and examining plant cells and experimenting with plant growth under different conditions. They are taking imaginative journeys to Monet's garden at Giverny, the bocage of Normandy and the Roman poet Horace's farm in the Sabine hills. An enormous garden mural is taking shape as the month blossoms...

From Our Head of School

welcome

Thank you for your interest in Summers-Knoll School!

We are a warm, connected, intentionally small school where each child is known and loved, and the educational development of our student community is supported in multi-faceted ways. Our students are rapid learners and creative thinkers. They are intellectually curious and eager to explore.

What motivates a child to do well? How can we help our children become the best that they can be, intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, personally? How can they acquire the skills to learn smarter and live better?
