Laurel Hill promotes a warm and encouraging setting where students study and play in a secure and relaxed environment. Boys and girls are responsible for the mutual well-being of our school community, and our students are keenly sensitive to the feelings and to the rights of others. Friendship always welcomes the new student, and mutual respect and caring pervades our social setting. Students have ample opportunity for “free time: in the school day. After-school activities also provide time to socialize. Our study methods are rich in socially based techniques such as partnered activities, cooperative study groups, micro-society, and learning circles.
Character Building & Citizenship
Students are encouraged to act
in accord with their values and to always consider the best interests
of others in their decision making. Caring, kindness, respect, responsibility,
honesty and trustworthiness are central character building virtues
emphasized throughout Laurel Hill. A formal character-building element
of the curriculum brings these qualities to life in the classroom.
