As a Community we Strive to
Work Hard, Find Joy
& Be Kind
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.

"Girls Can" group holds first meeting of the year
Girls Can, Tenacre's affinity group for fifth and sixth grade girls, had their first meeting of the 2024-2025 school year last Friday. At this first meeting, the participants learned about the group's purpose and history. Then, they completed a survey that asked about topics of interest, project ideas, and future opportunities to bring back alumna to speak (a past favorite). To end the meeting, the students made inspirational bracelets with short phrases (ex: joy, try, brave) to wear as a reminder of the group.
