Our daughter has been attending the toddler program since the fall. She has become so confident and independent since she started at Alcuin. We are so happy with her progress and highly recommend the program to other parents!" - An Alcuin Parent.
Our son is a high school senior, and his Alcuin experience was paramount in preparing him for high school. He has great relationships with his teachers, has all honors and AP classes, holds a 4.57 GPA, is part of the National Honor Society, and is looking at various Ivy League schools for next year." - An Alcuin Alumni parent
Here, children learn, lead, and collaborate.Alcuin's highly skilled and experienced Montessori-trained teachers follow a proven methodology that centers on observation to learn about and teach to your child's strengths and style. Children learn at their own pace, immersing in subjects and activities designed to develop much more than academic skills. In our multi-age classrooms, younger children also learn from their older peers, who reinforce their own knowledge, build confidence, and develop leadership skills by teaching others. Learn more >>

We thank Alcuin's Middle School program for preparing our child to excel at both the academics and time-management skills required in high school, but it's really her sense of urgency and purpose that gives us the greatest peace and pride in watching her slay the dragons and joyfully conquer the challenges of high school.” - An Alcuin alumni parent

Everstone @ Alcuin has changed our daughter... from a girl who had considerable struggles with reading, to one who loves to read for pleasure. She stays up late reading on her own and is constantly looking for new books in ways I never thought possible before we enrolled her. I truly believe it has changed the course of her life and am grateful we found it." - An Everstone @ Alcuin parent
This is Education for Life.Alcuin-educated children are confident, compassionate, and respectful of others. They are self-aware and disciplined, comfortable in conversations with adults and highly competent in academics. The vast majority move on to success in the next stops on their educational journey and ultimately in their careers and personal lives. They have learned how to learn. Learn More>>

Alcuin equipped me with all the tools I needed to succeed in high school. I am in the middle of studying for arduous IB exams, working on my valedictorian speech for my graduation, and dancing five days a week to prepare for my upcoming show! And next fall, I will be attending Barnard College, my first choice!” - An Alcuin alumni
Cookie cutters are for cookies.

Is cookie cutter education, with its rigid curricula and standardized tests, the best way to develop your child’s potential? Maybe it’s time to explore other options.
Alcuin is a safe, calm and ordered refuge that provides the ideal learning environment in an increasingly chaotic, fast-moving, filled-with-dangers-and-distractions world. At Alcuin, your child is more than just a student to us. We invite you to come and discover a place where children are seen for who they are, and love coming to school. Contact us for more information. |
