By focusing on the attributes that drive learning, support
Academics
At Packer, we believe that students are at the center of their learning. Guided by best practices, dedicated teachers engage students in authentic, independent, and collaborative work.' A deep and challenging educational program anchors a community where students learn to better understand themselves, one another, and the larger world.
Preschool
Joy and creativity are at the center of our Pre-K Threes, Pre-K Fours, and Kindergarten classrooms.
Lower School
Our First through Fourth Grade program develops young learners’ academic and critical thinking skills while supporting their social and emotional growth.
Middle School
Our Fifth through Eighth Grade program aims to create engaged, reflective students who are able to work hard, make connections, and find joy and value in their learning.
Upper School
Our Ninth through Twelfth Grade program embodies a healthy balance between academic rigor and personal development. As we like to say: we focus equally on head and heart.
