At The Simon School we put students' developmental, emotional, and academic needs first. We are a school centered on teaching students how to seek wisdom and truth and respect their shared humanity. We took best practices from the best educational systems around the world and created a school where secondary school students could feel as excited and joyful about learning as they did on their first day of Kindergarten. We are a place that embraces parent involvement and parents' as their child's most important teacher. A place where everyone is seen, heard, and cherished.
The Simon School - a private hybrid educational option focusing entirely on a Classical education model with applications based assessments.
We only teach the Humanities explicitly (Reading/Literature, Rhetoric & Composition, History, Art, theater, and philosophy). We do so by focusing on our motto -
Prudentia, Humanitas, Veritas.
Therefore our entire curriculum seeks to understand humanity, where it did things well and when it failed itself and those around them. While we do not teach math and science explicitly, we integrate it into our other lessons through practical use applications based projects such as gardening, culinary, maker-space and conservationism.
In our program, children learn the importance of the individual, of community, and of our shared cultural norms. They learn to enjoy themselves while they learn; they learn to be self-disciplined in order to enjoy life; they learn that G-d is great and they learn to know Him through the stories of the Jewish Torah/Christian Old-Testament. And they learn to appreciate each other's differences by learning about the cultures of the world through food and holidays.

Can we teach to our inner-child and still be rigorous?
In a word...YES!
When we teach to our inner child we focus on wonder, curiosity, discovery, innovation, creativity, problem-solving, and dare I say it... FUN!
Teaching to our inner-child does not affect rigor. Rigor comes from an expectation of deep critical thinking about the subject matter being studied, not the level of enjoyment from the study itself.
The key to doing this well is small class size coupled with a balanced approach of traditional and experiential (field trips and projects) learning along with the involvement of all our senses - we learn with our minds, bodies, and souls.
At The Simon School, your son or daughter will be given focused, individualized attention from subject area-expert teachers with afternoons dedicated to self-guided independent work all in a warm, inviting environment where we celebrate each other, build relationships, and take the time to enjoy the learning process.
You can expect your student to feel empowered and enlightened through our programs.
