1921 mission statement
The aims of the school are to keep childhood alive to an open-mindedness and a love of learning; to develop the individual within the circle of the school community; to teach by contact with actual material rather than by information about it; to turn knowledge into wisdom; to secure freedom with self-control.
Founder Agnes Hocking working with students in 1923.
our mission Shady Hill School wants children to be joyful, active learners who develop the intellectual discipline necessary to become contributing, ethical citizens. To accomplish these ends, we believe in the primacy of exploration and discovery, we advance the mastery of skills, and we help students shape meaning from knowledge.
