Educational Program: Curriculum Philosophy
Assessment of Progress Since we believe that every child can learn, we neither require testing prior to admission to Spruce Street School nor do we use standardized tests to evaluate academic growth. A child's progress is assessed through demonstration of competency in realistic situations from daily life and reported to parents through qualitative narratives and continua. Annual assessment includes two written reports, two continua, reports from specialist teachers, and two parent conferences. Teachers are available throughout the year for additional conferences. Spruce Street School worked closely with Bonnie Campbell Hill to produce developmental continua for reading, math and writing.

Our
highly individualized approach to reading, writing and math education
provides children with a firm foundation for their future intellectual
adventures. Our teachers employ a variety of approaches to address different
learning styles and build on our students' strengths. Skills instruction
and practice are integrated with the study of arts and sciences to give
students a rich context in which to learn.
