The Scarsdale Schools are committed to preparing students for success in an ever-changing global society; we believe that literacy experiences should encourage children to read, write, listen, and communicate critically and effectively to prepare for a life of learning and contribution.
We value and nurture dispositions such as perseverance, resilience, empathy, and flexibility. Teachers understand that students’ interests and independence are important, and provide experiences that include a gradual release of responsibility for acquisition and ownership of learning, including self-assessment and goal setting.
