Tappan Hill School, built on the understanding that each child develops at his or her own rate. Each program strives to develop the whole child socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Opportunities to learn are presented with a multi-sensory, interdisciplinary approach. Teachers recognize the need for balance between active, child-initiated learning and teacher directed instruction. Respect for individual differences is taught by example, as we respect, value and build on the individual and unique experiences that each child brings to the program.
Tappan Hill School works to create a nurturing, success-oriented environment in which students can develop a positive self-image. Students should be excited about learning and motivated to become lifelong learners. The School Staff knows technology in the broadest sense is the application of modern communications and computing technologies to the creation, management and use of knowledge. In an educational setting, information technology should provide students with a variety of enriching ideas and experiences that foster intellectual curiosity, achievement, and a pattern of life-long learning. The school is very fortunate to have such dedicated staff members who care about each other and each child.
