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.

Kindergarteners traveled to Beehive Art in Lincoln yesterday and participated in a variety of hands-on art activities. They each painted a picture, watercolored petite hearts, painted small wooden mushrooms, and decorated canvas bags to hold all of their art.
