Children
at Spruce Street School encounter real world learning situations where
multiple subjects are combined to broaden understanding of an activity.
The arts, science, social studies, and use of basic skills all interplay
in our students' education. This interdisciplinary approach prepares children
for holistic lifelong learning rather than compartmentalized training
on discrete subjects. Science and social studies give our students the
opportunity to experience life rather than simply learn about it.
The classroom experience
includes music instruction twice weekly, visual arts, and a scholar-in-residence
budget for each teacher. Each class creates an annual dramatic performance
related to the themes they have learned over the year.
