Welcome to Tenacre

Every day at Tenacre begins with a handshake as the head of school greets arriving students. This act of trust and personal attention sets the tone for all that follows. At Tenacre, we embrace the elementary years.
 
As a Pre-K through Grade 6 coed school, we offer a dynamic and exciting environment in which children progressively develop critical thinking skills, become confident and joyful learners, and move forward into higher education and life as caring citizens.

  • Pumpkin Bread project a beloved tradition

    First and sixth graders teamed up to bake pumpkin bread loaves as part of the popular Big Friend/Little Friend program. Students enjoyed measuring ingredients, mixing the batter, and spending quality time with their buddies. The finished loaves will be donated to a local food pantry, allowing for a combination of hands-on learning and community service.
  • Tenacre sixth graders test ancient methods in hands-on science/tech project

    Sixth graders at Tenacre recently tackled a collaborative science and technology challenge that transported them back in time. The students explored ancient techniques for moving heavy objects, then applied their knowledge to a modern problem: relocating tree stumps across the Phyllis Scoboria Orchard to the Tenacre Community Garden, where the stumps will serve as seating for outdoor science classes. Under the guidance of science teacher Leah Staffier and Dave Hamilton, Tenacre's Director of Design Technology, students designed and built vehicles to test three ancient methods of transportation: the litter, the sled, and the roller. The project seamlessly blended hands-on construction with lessons in engineering as students transported the stumps and learned about the mechanics behind each method. Through the process of building, moving, and experimenting, the sixth graders found both challenge and joy in their work—and even managed to have some fun along the way.
  • Students bring spirit to annual Halloween parade
