Hallmarks of a Shore Education
UnmistakableHallmarks
The hallmarks of a Shore education are unmistakable. Families point to these touchstones as the reason they choose Shore, and graduates recall them as among the most formative experiences of their lives.
Shore Parent
"I never intended to find one school that would serve all four of our boys: they are so different socially, academically, in every way. But somehow, Shore fits them all."
-
Faculty Mentorship
Our faculty members are recognized by parents year after year for their extraordinary ability to engage each individual child in adventurous education. -
Community Code
Committed to a shared vision of respect, responsibility, and service, our strong Shore community is united in its dedication to the growth of every child. -
Social-Emotional Learning
Just as much as academic achievement, the Shore education emphasizes emotional growth, social responsibility, and the well-being of the whole child—in close partnership with every family. -
Authentic Voice
Right from the start, Shore students are challenged to expand their comfort zone and find their authentic voice through performance, public speaking, collaborative inquiry, and student-led discussion around the Harkness table. -
Outdoor Education
Education extends beyond the walls of our school through exploration and reflection inspired by Shore’s outdoor classrooms, gardens, and natural spaces, and through frequent trips built around experiential learning. -
Design Thinking
The arts, design, and engineering are at the heart of the Shore education, and in the Center for Creativity, students, faculty, parents, and visitors explore ideas that cross all academic boundaries. -
Sound Mind, Sound Body
Recess, physical education, and team sports are central to Shore’s program, nourishing physical and emotional health and honoring children’s need to experience the world through movement and play.
Shore Country Day School’s mission is to provide an education that inspires a love of learning and encourages children to embrace academic challenge. We seek to build character, cultivate creativity, and value diversity as we help our children become healthy, compassionate citizens of the world.
