I have two children at The Birches, in 6th and 4th grade, and couldn't be happier with our experience. My oldest switched from town school in 2nd grade and my youngest was part of the first kindergarten at The Birches. Teaching is individualized, allowing students to move ahead if able or gain extra support if needed. Math is held during the same time throughout the school so students can move up a grade if they are excelling. The arts integrated approach allows creativity and hands on learning. We are so lucky to be a part of such an amazing school community!
Both of my boys attend The Birches and have enjoyed it. My boys couldn’t be more different. One is really into sports and the other enjoys D&D at the after school program.
Both have learned the ukulele and the oldest is now playing the drums. They are challenged with public speaking from a young age during the school’s weekly gathering, forest forum, where all grades get together.
The art program is great and their projects are frequently integrated with what they are learning in their class.
The teachers and administrators are excellent. When Covid hit they were ready and we didn’t miss a day of school. It did take some time to adjust and they constantly worked at improving their approach to remote learning but they had a plan on day one.
I would recommend The Birches to anyone

This is our 4th year as a Birches family. My youngest is in 6th grade and my oldest graduated from Birches in 2020. We are very pleased with the academics - my oldest was well prepared for high school (and actually advanced in math). We love the arts-integration approach for my 6th grader and all the teachers and admins have been very supportive of our family and our special needs child!
