Enrollment in the 1st through 6th grades is at 112 students for the 2019– 2020 school year. The relatively small size has many advantages. Children are known and appreciated for who they are. Everyone feels needed and has a place as an observer and a doer. This promotes self-confidence, which is after all an integral part of learning. In addition, the children are held accountable for their actions. This is an important aspect of the moral development of the child.
With a smaller pool of friends, children learn effective social skills. While it is possible that there may be fewer friends, it is also likely that these relationships will be close and respectful. Indeed, many social-science researchers view small school size as beneficial to healthy cultural development. For the child that may seek more friends, a wealth of outside activities, such as sports teams and drama and dance classes, exist in our communities.
