FOUNDED IN 1952, NORWOOD SCHOOL IS A COEDUCATIONAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL FOR GRADES PK-8. THE SCHOOL'S APPROACH TO INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING BEGINS WITH A TEAM OF TEACHERS WHOSE FIRST PRIORITY IS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY STUDENT. ONLY BY UNDERSTANDING EACH LEARNER CAN WE CREATE "JUST RIGHT" ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES WHERE EVERY CHILD IS STRETCHED BUT NOT STRESSED. OUR FOCUS ON INCLUSION AND RESPECT CREATES A CULTURE WHERE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT ONE ANOTHER AND THE WORLD BEYOND OUR SCHOOL.
