Why choose between a play-based model and traditional learning model, when your child can have both? At Fitzgerald Community School, your child will get the best of both worlds in a nature-based personalized education that combines child-centered learning and curriculum benchmarks. We've spent years perfecting a blend of free play, project based learning, and foundational learning to give your child a personalized pre-K through 5th grade educational experience that's designed to let everyone flourish.In our hybrid learning model, your child will spend an average of 3 hours a day outside, playing and learning in fresh air. Our smaller class sizes (up to 8 students) give your child the freedom of exploration, and the mixed-age groups foster the development of social skills and leadership in a safe environment.We use a benchmark system that is far more effective than homework and testing, but still champions a strong educational foundation and sense of independence when they transition to middle school.Join our community of supportive, accepting, and encouraging families that celebrates the unique personalities and needs of each child. We love our Fitz families and can't wait to meet your child.
