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.

  • Kindergartners create puppet shows

    After reading and studying beloved storybooks, including "Caps for Sale," "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," and "The Carrot Seed," kindergarteners brought these tales to life through puppet shows for their classmates. Students designed puppets for each character, illustrated the story settings, and staged performances using puppet theaters crafted by Tenacre's tech and design department. In tech class, they assembled their puppets by cutting simple shapes from cardstock and attaching moveable arms and legs with metal brads, then took turns presenting their shows to delighted audiences of peers.
  • Third graders design roller coasters—for mice

    Third graders recently completed a robotics project in tech class. Called “If You Gave a Mouse an Amusement Park,” each team of two students built a ride for a mouse that uses rotational movement, a push button sensor, and a maximum of 25 Legos.
  • Tenacre hosts a pre-Thanksgiving alumni gathering

    Last Tuesday evening, Tenacre welcomed back alumni in a 21+ gathering. The event brought together graduates from various years who returned to campus to reconnect with old friends, revisit memories of their days on Benvenue Street, and tour the spaces where they spent their formative school years. For many alumni, the visit was eye-opening as they walked through hallways and classrooms that had been updated or transformed since their days as students. It was a wonderful opportunity for the school community to celebrate the lasting bonds formed during the important elementary years.
