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.

Pages, Pals, and a Whole Lot of Books: Tenacre's Annual Used Book Fair
Yesterday, Tenacre's annual Used Book Fair brought the whole school together! Families donated gently used books and students from every grade came to find their next great read. The Used Book Fair is a special tradition for our Big Friend/Little Friend program, where older students guide their younger buddies through the choices, helping them discover books they'll love. The Little Friends love having the chance to browse and buy books all on their own — with a little help from teachers, parents, and their Big Friends nearby, of course! -

This morning, they gained first-hand knowledge by using a cow eye specimen, which has a similar construction to the human eye. They explored the anatomical parts that they have been studying. The study of the cow’s eye provides students with a relevant comparison to explain various diseases and problems that affect the eyes of typical mammalian organisms. -
