We have had a wonderfully transformative experience for our kids at Sheridan, who have attended since K. Our children are known, seen, and cared for, and as their readiness for academic challenges has increased, so as the rigor they experience. Sheridan's outplacement speaks for itself and is a testament to the quality education Sheridan provides.

I like the following things about Sheridan School: 1)The teacher to student ratio also lends itself to teacher efficacy. There are a high number of teachers to students allowing for more differentiated student learning. 2) Sheridan's students learn to love learning and knowledge because the faculty and staff are supported in their work. 3) Integrity, compassion and respect underpin all of the social emotional learning that takes place in Sheridan's responsive classrooms. 4) Sheridan is dedicated to teaching its students where they are and raising them up from wherever they may be found. 5) Sheridan is committed to the safety -- both physical and social emotional safety -- of its students. This takes the form of active anti-bullying and restorative-justice based conflict resolution measures. 6) We think that the K-8 model coupled with a progressive educational ethos is a great fit. Students are given ample opportunities beginning at a young age to be leaders.

I love this school, it is a real gem. My daughter loves going to school and learning. She feels cared for and loved by everyone at the school from the Head of School that she hugs every day to teachers she has not had classes with yet.

I love everything about Sheridan. First of all, it goes without saying that my daughter is getting a first-rate education at this amazing school. But Sheridan doesn’t just focus on academics — the faculty and staff focus on kindness, team work and helping parents shape our children into fine human b...
