Hubbard School has an excellent nurturing professional staff. Communication with teachers and principal is encouraged and easy. Academics are rigorous and grade-appropriate. Independent reading is encouraged and children can earn prizes for reading comprehension through voluntary participation in a special reading program. Ample help is available for those who need it in reading, math, speech, and other skill areas. A science lab for all grades has been added in 2010. Kindergarten is half-day, however, a wrap-around Kindergarten program is available for a fee so that children can stay and learn for a full day. Before and after-care programs are also available. Many cultural and enrichment programs are held throughout the year. Fun events are planned regularly for the children. There is a very active and productive PTO that provides many "extras" to the school through fundraising and provides many opportunities for family involvement during and after school hours. It is overall a very inclusive and academically successful place for children to learn.

This school is fantastic for so many reasons. It has been a part of the community for so long. The teachers are highly qualified, which you do not always get at a school that has a preschool. Academically, our children received differentiated, hands-on learning experiences in whole group and small group settings. They met and exceeded my children's needs academically. Often the class sizes were small, which was great for academics. Socially, the school provided opportunities and events for additional socialization, like "Lunch and Learn", field day, fall fest, and much more that I don't even remember. My kids loved yoga, music, soccer, Spanish class as part of their regular school day. The school navigated through the COVID pandemic and adjusted to meet the new emotional changes COVID brought for our children and their classes. Going through the twos program, preschool, and the elementary school my children have been more that prepared for the challenges of middle school.

Wonderful school, wonderful teachers, wonderful students and community! My children love it here ! We came from public school and never looked back! Highly recommend! Excellent education while keeping faith at the center of learning.
