The Hathaway School is an independent elementary school presently providing educational programs for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. The Hathaway School is licensed through the Massachusetts Department of Education for grades K-8. Each year the school will add a grade level to its curriculum until reaching the eighth grade. We will offer fifth grade for the 2009-2010 school year. We also offer full and part time preschool programs servicing children 2.9 to 5 years. The programs are designed for each child to develop all the necessary skills and understandings to succeed and thrive academically. We also provide before and after school programs as well as a summer program for grades K-6 school age children. Transportation packages are also available
The Hathaway School is a pet friendly environment. We have a variety of animals within the school such as dogs, fish, birds and hamsters etc. Please be advised of this environment particularly if your child has allergies.
Our curriculum is standards based. This means, in part, that we utilize the Department of Education’s Curriculum Frameworks as a benchmark in developing our curriculum. Our curriculum always meets but generally exceeds the DOE standards upon completion of a program. The K-5 curriculum is designed to have our students strongly prepared to confidently meet the challenges when place in any school environment. We believe in setting high standards for all our students. All children love to learn. It is our goal to find the way to individually address their needs so that going to school is a fun and rewarding experience. Elementary classroom sizes are kept to a 8:1 ratio so that students are provided plenty of individual attention to maximize their success in school. High standards are not just for the academic arena. We also encourage and provide students the opportunities to develop a sense of pride in themselves, in their school and within their family and community environments. We believe that this provides the individual child the best possible opportunity to meet with success in our increasingly more globalized world.
