Charles River School has been an amazing experience for not only my children but also my family. The child centered progressive education that focuses on joy and learning with a thematic curriculum and supportive environment has shaped my children into life long learners and just generally good humans who are interested in and accepting of others. I cannot recommend a school more highly.

My children had a wonderful, well rounded experience at CRS. They all had wonderful options for secondary school - and have been doing well in their studies post CRS. They felt well prepared for the setting and curriculum that followed their studies. They continue to speak fondly about their time at CRS. I highly recommend CRS to other families.

Academic rigor is balanced with strong social emotional support. The school encourages kids to be curious, self-aware,...

Since joining Charles River School almost 7 years ago, I remain impressed and thrilled that my child has the privilege and opportunity to attend a school that fosters the importance of "igniting curiosity, encouraging creativity, and cultivating intellectual engagement. " At CRS children are allowed...
