Progressive Education

Green Acres School is dedicated to progressive education. This process of education has at its core a comprehensive understanding of child development which recognizes:

  • the cognitive, social, emotional, creative, and physical needs of children;
  • the need to respect children as individuals and to acknowledge variations in their growth patterns and learning styles;

  • the value of helping children discover their own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences; and

  • the importance of each child’s self-esteem and self confidence.
