HOW WE LEARN
At Fiddlehead, each day begins with a warm welcome—a moment of connection that honors every child as they step into a world of curiosity and community. Morning meetings set the tone, bringing classmates together to share, plan, and prepare for the adventures ahead.
Learning at Fiddlehead engages the whole child—mind, heart, and hands. Teachers guide, inspire, and co-create with students, tailoring lessons to their unique needs. Our two-teacher model ensures every learner is met where they are, with extensions to challenge curious minds and support for those who need a little extra care.
In many classrooms, Fiddlehead’s approach to learning looks like collaborative group projects tackling literacy, math, science, and social studies in meaningful and interconnected ways. For example, students participating in our weekly outdoor learning might venture into the woods to measure the circumference of trees, blending math concepts like measurement and geometry with environmental science. Such immersive activities not only teach practical skills but also nurture critical thinking, curiosity, and a sense of connection to something larger than ourselves.
We believe that learning is a vibrant, joyful journey—one that nurtures the whole child and celebrates the endless possibilities of discovery.
