Memorial School

Dale Street is a unique and special spot. Every 4th and 5th grade student in the entire town spends two years here and I believe this is where their love for learning and good, contributing character begins. The philosophy of the school (which is fostered and encouraged by the principal) embraces the whole child. There are high expectations for academics but equally high expectations for behavior and respect- a rare combination. Being the oldest building in the district with students right 'in the middle', it sometimes gets overlooked, but it shouldn't. Great job Dale Street

I cant say enough great things about this school. This school is situated in an active safe community with involved parents, teachers, staff, and a principal who all truly care about the students. I have a son who has attention issues. His teacher and I have collaborated our efforts to get my son to overcome his "easily distracted" ways into becoming a productive and engaged child who enjoys learning! Tough curriculum but not overwhelming by any means. The classes are taught and geared to provide the children the skills requisite to complete their expected coursework. Again, I cannot say enough great things.

This is what an elementary school for boys should be - academically demanding but supportive in a way that celebrates and encourages boys. The outstanding faculty teachers and mentors each boy to make use of all his talents and models what it means to be a great person. The liberal arts curriculum emphasizes classic literature and poetry, a hands-on science program, and daily physical education periods. Boys who attend Sparhawk Academy for more than two years are in most cases one year ahead of their peers in math. The craftsmanship program instills confidence by teaching the boys to use power tools to build beautiful objects from wood and stone, as well as painting, culinary arts, farming, and woodsman skills. Classes are small, and each boy has a faculty mentor with whom he meets every few weeks to help him grow intellectually, physically, spiritually, and morally. After Sparhawk Academy boys are accepted by the best high schools in the area.
