For more than 70 years, an Egremont education has meant a love
of learning both inside the classroom and out, strong relationships with
dedicated faculty, discovering one's interests and developing one's passions.
Students bring curiosity and creativity to all they do whether studying Ancient
China, exploring POD casting or competing on the basketball court.
At Egremont, academic
excellence involves reaching beyond the four walls of the classroom, beyond the
linear and rote, to a rich and integrated experience. Through a
challenging and differentiated curriculum, outstanding teachers prepare
children to make choices that stimulate and stretch them intellectually,
aesthetically, and physically. Students take on the process of their own
learning: to question, discover, and think independently. They build
intellectual curiosity, interpersonal and critical thinking skills,
technological expertise and self-confidence.
Egremont educates a
diverse and inclusive student body, respecting all members and honoring the
individual character and spirit of each child. In a safe, nurturing
environment, we provide an experience for children that reflects the breadth
and depth within the world and prepares children for life's possibilities.
We believe children
develop best when there is a welcoming and active partnership between school
and family. This partnership is pivotal to the school community and
strengthens the foundation for learning. Together we develop and model
shared values of integrity, personal responsibility, respect, empathy, and
kindness toward one another.
Egremont challenges students to become engaged, ethically responsible
citizens and future leaders. A meaningful integration of service learning
throughout all grades at Egremont instills in students life-long values
associated with service to others, both locally and globally. Students have the
opportunity to take on leadership roles, thereby enhancing their confidence,
knowledge and skills as future leaders. We encourage students to look,
think and prepare themselves to become citizens in a globalized world.
