Curriculum

Shady Hill School employs an immersive teaching approach that prioritizes in-depth understanding, connecting subjects to the human experience, and fostering creativity, intelligence, and empathy. Our curriculum revolves around a concept called Central Subject, where each grade focuses on a year-long study in history, literature, geography, and writing. Younger grades engage in age-appropriate Thematic Studies that align with the Central Subject methodology. Click on a grade icon below to learn more.
