Mission & Philosophy

Vision

The Stanwich School is a place where children are encouraged to reach their full potential in a nurturing environment. Students, teachers and parents work together to foster a love of learning and an appreciation for the gifts of others. Through a challenging academic program, combined with a creative approach to the arts, children gain strong skills that build confidence and develop talents. A varied physical education program introduces opportunities to support healthy growth. Values based on the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments are reinforced in daily living and highlighted in morning assemblies where all the children gather together briefly to welcome the day, celebrate a birthday and share news.

Mission

The Stanwich School is a caring community that offers a balanced, rigorous education, infused with values emphasizing Judeo-Christian principles and traditions, which inspire students to be their best, help others be their best and make God’s world a better place.
