Children Are Natural Learners.

They are eager to explore and question their world. They easily absorb and apply new experiences. Our dedicated teachers practice an active, hands-on, inquiry-based core curriculum. Our interdisciplinary curriculum prepares young minds for the challenges of our ever-changing world by taking a comprehensive, hands-on approach to learning. Teachers and specialists work together to provide an integrated curriculum, allowing students to explore knowledge across many subjects.

Experiential Education

We make the material meaningful through asking questions, investigating, gathering evidence, drawing conclusions and communicating findings. Learning at Armitage Academy is doing, seeing, questioning, listening, experimenting, analyzing, relating, and applying – applying knowledge in ways that enrich our children's lives.


The Arts

Core academics are integrated with a vibrant visual and performing arts program. All students take art, music, choir, drama and creative movement. At Armitage we believe that an arts education:
 
opens young minds to new viewpoints by celebrating differences and allowing many solutions to a common task.
promotes individuality and enhances self-confidence.
gives children the tools necessary for understanding the human experience.
 

Technology

Technology tools are incorporated into all areas of instruction as part of the regular curriculum. We focus on using technology to enhance creativity and communication.
