Faculty
The people at the door and at the table
Thirteen teachers share the school. Two of them are here; the others are happy to meet you at a visit.
Lisandro Cuenca
Class teacher, grade 4
Leads a fourth-grade class, teaches its main lessons and the woodwork afternoons, and writes to families once a month.
The class teacher
One teacher who knows the class
In the lower grades a class teacher begins with the class in first grade and stays with it, with specialists beside them.
Teaches the main lesson
Two hours each morning, on one subject at a time, with the class teacher's own stories and drawings.
Knows each child's year
The same teacher sees how a child grows from one term to the next, and tells families what they see.
Talks with families
A monthly letter, a meeting in the winter and a conversation whenever a family asks.
Meet the teachers
Visit mornings include time with a class teacher.
