Over the past years, teachers have taken courses on how the brain learns and on how to design lessons so that children of all different learning styles can access and master curricula standards.  Our focus is on creating an environment at Hemenway that enables the children to delve into learning content areas in context. We want to create a place where the children can learn through real-life experiences, hands-on science and current world events. We want them working on complex environmental problems and taking positions on social and environmental issues. We want them to be true world citizens.  Test your Multiple Intelligences - click   (with parent permission).
