In addition to a well-structured curriculum, the latest educational processes, programs, and technology are used to support our quest for student achievement. The kindergarten program includes a full day of instruction for all students, providing every child a jump start toward becoming a successful learner. Accelerated learning, curriculum compacting, hands-on inquiry, student initiated research, and interdisciplinary units are examples of the variety of processes used to ensure that the learning needs of each child are met. A technology-rich experience is possible in every classroom, as well as in the Library Media Center and the Technology Center. Interactive field trips and guided internet research move our students into a global classroom.
Technology is used as a tool to enhance learning in every classroom and school setting.
Our goal is to ensure that every Halls Ferry child has the technology skills necessary to be a productive citizen of the next millenium. Diversity is a source of strength at Halls Ferry School. All children learn best in nurturing and supportive environment where diversity is respected and celebrated. To Be Me, a multicultural curriculum integration model, was developed by a Halls Ferry teacher. Utilizing children's literature, the program's activities honor the culture of every child and celebrate America's diversity.
