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.

Up, up and away!
Fifth graders launched their handcrafted hot air balloons this morning across Centennial Field. These 3-meter wonders were built in science class using tissue paper, glue, string, and a copper ring. This STEM project includes concepts like metric measurement, proportions, building models, density, gravity, buoyancy, convection, engineering, and design. This is by far one of the favorite Tenacre experiences and captures the imaginations of students. #tenacre traditions -
