Griffin School

The Classroom: Personalized, Engaging, Interactive. We believe that students learn best in a creative and personalized environment that encourages expression and interaction. Core classes are capped at 15 students. Within these intimate classroom communities, students and teachers develop genuine relationships that form the basis of the learning experience. We recognize that each student brings a unique array of strengths, challenges, interests, and skills to their learning experience. We challenge them, give them the help they need, and the space to develop as individuals. Our curriculum and instructional programs provide a rigorous course of study that is designed to develop a solid foundation in core academics and prepare students for college success. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered across the core curriculum and in fine arts, and the math and science classes are just as solid and excellent as those in the humanities. We develop our students’ personal learning and organizational systems, their test-taking skills for the SAT and ACT, and we provide them with support in the college application process. But most of all, we develop their logical thinking skills, their clear communication skills, and their creative problem-solving skills.
