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.

  • Grade 6 hosts immigrant panel discussion as part of social studies unit

    Sixth graders hosted their annual immigrant panel discussion this morning, concluding a social studies unit on immigration and urbanization. Students invited members of their families who have immigrated to the United States to participate in a panel discussion and share their “coming to America” stories. This year's panel reflected global diversity, with representatives from six different countries: Haiti, China, Ireland, Brazil, Uganda, and England. The breadth of experiences underscores the goals of the sixth-grade social studies unit to understand migration as a fundamental aspect of the American experience.

  • Tenacre celebrates National Poetry Month

    Tenacre third graders rang in National Poetry Month this morning with an all-school assembly, taking the mic to share their favorite poems. The volunteers treated the audience to works by Shel Silverstein, Lewis Carroll, Ashley Rice, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack Prelutsky. First celebrated in 1996 by the Academy of American Poetry, National Poetry Month has since grown into the largest literary celebration in the world.

  • Pages, Pals, and a Whole Lot of Books: Tenacre's Annual Used Book Fair

    Yesterday, Tenacre's annual Used Book Fair brought the whole school together! Families donated gently used books and students from every grade came to find their next great read. The Used Book Fair is a special tradition for our Big Friend/Little Friend program, where older students guide their younger buddies through the choices, helping them discover books they'll love. The Little Friends love having the chance to browse and buy books all on their own — with a little help from teachers, parents, and their Big Friends nearby, of course!
