Concord Hill School inspires children to embrace and enjoy learning during the early childhood years. Five Core Values—Knowledge, Character, Respect, Play, and Community—guide a dynamic academic and social curriculum. As an inclusive school community, we nurture each child and prepare our students to become responsible, caring, and contributing members of society. Our values are the essence of Concord Hill. They form the foundation for every decision we make. They anchor our teachers and students, providing a consistent beacon of guidance for educational approaches, problem solving, classroom activities, discussions, and priorities. They help children begin to form their own essence, which endures long after they leave us. Knowledge: We guide children to acquire the knowledge and learning skills necessary to thrive. Character: We celebrate the character of each child, bolstering strengths and instilling confidence. Respect: We teach children to respect themselves, each other, and our diverse world. Play: We enlist play as a means to introduce learning skills, to encourage the joy that comes with learning, and to delight in being young children. Community: We give children a safe, small, happy community in which they will grow. A visit to the school will underscore that the school’s mission and five values are very present and as stated, foundational to Concord Hill’s very essence.
