Curriculum

​A Framework of Values
The North Branch School is organized around ten core values which form the basis of the school’s curriculum and approach to children as developing learners:

A curriculum that:
  • Allows students of different abilities and backgrounds to succeed with success being measured by a student’s willingness and effort to deepen intellectually, ethically, artistically and emotionally
  • Emphasizes the integration of intellectual endeavors with students’ idealism, beliefs and visions
  • Is personally relevant and provides opportunities for reflection on the self
  • Gives responsibility to students for creating and maintaining a vigorous and positive learning environment

A community which encourages:
  • An awareness of and experiences in the natural world
  • Physical activity and physical health
  • Respect for people of diverse backgrounds
  • A concern for the well-being of others in the school and greater community
  • Learning as a life-long endeavor occurring within and beyond the classroom walls
  • Openness, a sense of humor and fun
