Overview - The Selwyn School is a private, independent, nonsectarian day school serving toddlers through eighth grade. Founded in 1957, The Selwyn School is committed to providing its students with an outstanding academic program within a nurturing environment. Our teachers value each child as an individual and help their students discover the joy of learning.
Students participate in music, art, physical education and foreign language enrichment classes.
Selwyn encourages a partnership between parents, faculty and administration in meeting each child's educational needs. Students at Selwyn represent a diversity of races, religious and economic levels, and our graduates have attended such area schools as Greenhill, Hockaday, Cistercian and Jesuit. Preschool Developmental Approach - Selwyn's Preschool's teaching philosophy is based on the developmental approach, which holds that children are natural learners who develop at different rates. We teach the mastery of basic skills, and the ability to think critically, creatively and independently. Emphasis is placed on respect and appreciation of each individual's contribution.
