Our Mission

The mission of The Boxberry School is to identify and nurture academic and creative potential in an environment that embraces each child’s natural enthusiasm for discovery.

  • Our supportive culture fosters effective communication skills, creative problem-solving techniques, critical thinking, self-confidence and respect for others.
  • The academic curriculum is enhanced by foreign language, art, music, drama, environmental studies, outdoor education and cultural studies.
  • Our small class sizes allow for interactive learning and individualized attention.
  • Our multi-age classrooms create positive learning opportunities:
    • Older students mentor younger classmates and develop a sense of responsibility;
    • Younger students are consistently introduced to higher-level concepts at an earlier age.
  • Field trips, guest speakers and community service projects emphasize the importance of volunteerism and involve students in the greater Oxford Hills community.
  • An active parent base stays engaged in all aspects of their children’s education and helps to keep Boxberry an affordable option for education in the area.
