Stratford

At Stratford School, high expectations yield extraordinary results. The advanced yet intentionally balanced curriculum starts as early as preschool to inspire and nurture the minds and hearts of every student. From the outset, they simplify challenging concepts, then accelerate learning to enable their students to study ahead of grade level, develop a love of learning, and prepare for the future.

From preschool through grade 8, Stratford's curriculum is infused with sequential instruction in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics — "STEAM" — to help students develop a diverse set of problemsolving skills and talents they'll need in today's world. This is accomplished through a unique cross-disciplinary approach that enhances critical thinking, integrates ideas from multiple subjects, and ultimately expands student learning.

Beginning in preschool, Stratford's curriculum is designed to develop the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical building blocks. Hands-on, multi-sensory activities, including their Imaginative STEAM Play, encourage preschoolers to play and share with others, while developing their self-confidence, so each child discovers the joy and excitement of learning.

In elementary, Stratford's accelerated core curriculum exceeds the National Standardized ERB Results and motivates students to become critical thinkers and proficient writers. This balanced approach imparts students with not only a wellrounded education; it fosters the development of strong friendships, effective study skills, and blossoming self-confidence.

Middle school continues the Stratford tradition of excellence. They prepare and mentor students for placement in honors and advanced courses at top- tier private and public high schools. Stratford's intentional approach to educating the whole child results in young adults who are gifted communicators, skilled, generous collaborators, creative problem-solvers, and confident, insightful leaders.
