Because developing the curiosity to explore brings ideas to life.
As they grow, students develop their skills in critical thinking, and oral and written expression, but not at the expense of cultivating intuition, imagination and creativity - and remembering what it means to be a child.
Because questioning the answer is as important as answering the question.
Mead students develop the curiosity to explore, the courage to question, and the knowledge and skills that fully prepare them for today’s world.
Because a close relationship builds independence.
Teachers inspire children to explore subjects in fresh ways, to push themselves to excel. They challenge children to be creative, independent thinkers - ready for the next step in education and beyond.
Because academic success is just one small piece of the puzzle.
Cross-curricular, experiential learning is the norm, allowing learners to cultivate teamwork and collaboration skills and develop their intuition, imagination and creativity.
Because every child writes his own story.
Every challenge in life is as unique as the individual. That’s why at Mead we nurture children’s confidence, intellect and independence – the tools they’ll need to succeed at every stage of their lives.
Because a child's strongest advocate is herself.
By working closely and collaboratively with our students, we're able to help them achieve the most out of every experience. They build the confidence they need to reach their full potential.
