The Philbrick School is dedicated to the belief that All Children Can Learn. The school community fulfills its mission by providing a safe and nurturing learning environment that prepares all students to be responsible, productive and educated citizens. We support all students in mastering the basic skills, with emphasis on literacy and critical thinking skills. We respect diversity and challenge children to develop a strong sense of self esteem balanced with clear respect for the rights of others. We set high standards for all students, shaped by clear assessment of students' needs.
Students have an opportunity to participate in the breakfast service before classes.
Morning exercises begin with the schoolwide Pledge of Allegiance. The school schedule consists of an 8 period day. In addition to mathematics and other basic academics, students participate in physical education and music. Also, students have the opportunity to use classroom computers which reinforce basic skills and integrate technology with the curriculum. Throughout the year, all students have the opportunity to participate in field trips or assemblies and presentations by classroom visitors that reinforce skills in basic academics and the arts.
