Why Choose Tenacre?
Top 10 Reasons for Choosing Tenacre
  1. Tenacre embraces the elementary years. We love working with 4 to 12 year olds in our small, intimate 10-acre setting. An enrollment of only 192 children allows the staff to know all the students and parents. And conversely, the students to know all the staff.
  2. Tenacre is an independent school, one which you choose because we align with your values and can support your child's particular needs.
  3. Tenacre is a coeducational school. Tenacre believes that coeducation is a way for boys and girls to experience learning and working together… a microcosm of the real world.
  4. We have a clear, concise mission: “Tenacre Country Day School nurtures and challenges each child, every day.” We know who we are and focus on what we do best.
  5. Developing critical thinkers, confident learners, and caring citizens: Our goal for every student.
  6. Experienced and dedicated teachers: "Your child will leave Tenacre well-rounded and prepared for the next stage of their education.” “Children learn how to interact with teachers and advocate for themselves. A life skill." - Tenacre parents
  7. Team Teaching: We have a team of two teachers in each homeroom, ensuring that your child will be well known and allowing for flexible groupings, plus a low student-to-teacher ratio.
  8. Strong arts/specials curriculum: Children participate in a rich mix of art, music, science, computer, Spanish, library, and physical education on a weekly basis.
  9. Participation: We believe in the meaningful participation of each child in daily school life.
  10. A strong, inclusive community, where every child can feel safe and appreciated. "Tenacre is a close-knit community... like an extension of your family." "Tenacre is a nurturing and loving environment." - Tenacre parents
