when the academic, emotional, social and physical
development are acknowledged and fostered, children benefit.

a key component in the learning process is the
collaboration of parents and teachers.

and character development increases awareness and self esteem.
-
an intentionally small class size provides
opportunities for each child to maximize potential within a rigorous
academic program.
-
a strong emphasis on organizational skills begins in
the early years.
-
in a teacher directed, child-centered, structured and
well balanced curriculum.
-
that a solid foundation in reading, writing, math,
science and Spanish is the basis for successful lifelong learners.
-
in capturing emergent learning opportunities.
-
in a partnership with parents and families.

-
in utilizing a strong and dedicated circle of

The Tobin School was founded upon the principles that
children grow and learn in a warm, supportive, diverse, and mutually
respectful environment. The Tobin School community is a community of
teachers, parents, and students who are totally committed to the well being,
happiness, and education of each child. |
