Welcome to Tenacre
Every day at Tenacre begins with a handshake as the head of school greets arriving students. This act of trust and personal attention sets the tone for all that follows. At Tenacre, we embrace the elementary years.
As a Pre-K through Grade 6 coed school, we offer a dynamic and exciting environment in which children progressively develop critical thinking skills, become confident and joyful learners, and move forward into higher education and life as caring citizens.

Third graders start their study of cow's eye
Tenacre third graders have been learning about the physical properties of light and the physiology and anatomy of the human eye. This morning, they gained first-hand knowledge by using a cow eye specimen, which has a similar construction to the human eye. They explored the anatomical parts that they have been studying. The study of the cow’s eye provides students with a relevant comparison to explain various diseases and problems that affect the eyes of typical mammalian organisms. -

Second graders perform their class play, "Silly Sailors"
Tenacre second graders performed “Silly Sailors!” this morning for the Tenacre community. In this musical, called “the saltiest, smelliest, super-silliest show on the Seven Seas,” the king announces a contest to see which ship can voyage all the way to Antarctica and back, and every crew on the seven seas scrambles to claim the royal prize. The result is laughter and adventure in this rollicking maritime musical.
