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.

Tenacre launches Success By Design Campaign
Tenacre hosted a kick-off celebration last night to celebrate the launch of its Success By Design Campaign. Success By Design will invest in the people, places, and programs at Tenacre by anchoring our learning support and enrichment in a dedicated space, expanding our design technology program with a new curriculum and space, and investing in our most valuable resources—our faculty, staff, and students. In addition to investment in our school programs, Success By Design will also focus on increasing Tenacre’s auxiliary programming. We were thrilled to celebrate the kick-off of this campaign with more than 200 members of our community, including current parents, past parents, alumni, grandparents, and faculty and staff.
