Sequoyah School

At Sequoyah children thrive in a diverse community where they are appreciated for their individuality and supported by a developmental approach to learning. A Sequoyah education is dynamic and adaptable—students are trusted, challenged and encouraged. Our philosophical approach is based on the belief that students learn through experience. Academic disciplines are introduced in meaningful contexts in which students are given the time for deliberate exploration, careful investigation and discovery. Building on major concepts, processes and skills, teachers guide students to realize connections between ideas. Class projects and performances are designed to draw on individual learning styles while encouraging collaborative problem solving. From a very early age our students practice asking questions that can be answered experimentally. They analyze data and communicate meaningful results with confidence.
