ACADEMIC OVERVIEW
Foote School offers a rich and imaginative learning environment with a carefully balanced curriculum that encompasses literature, history, mathematics, science, technology, writing, foreign languages, the arts and athletics.
The Lower School and Middle School curriculum pages describe the scope and sequence of Foote programs by grade.
Faculty Webpages are a source of information that often includes class projects, field trip photos, daily home assignments, and links to library and outside resources relevant to the curriculum.
K-5 Faculty Pages – include descriptions of current activities, photos and examples of class projects
6-9 Faculty Pages – include homework assignments as well as photos and summaries of class activities and field trips.
The Library's overall goal for every grade level is to help students feel that libraries are wonderful places where they can find literature to feed their imaginations and locate whatever information they seek. The library subscribes to a number of online resources, and provides links on its website for each grade level to help guide students toward effective Internet searching.
The Technology Department fills a dual role as both a technical services group and an educational department. Responsibilities range from helping faculty members integrate technology into their curricula, to supporting students as they use technology in their class work and extracurricular activities, to the maintenance and repair of more than 230 computers and seven servers.
Secondary School Planning is taken very seriously and Foote School has a successful track record in enrolling students at a variety of schools. Feedback consistently tells us that our students are well prepared for their secondary school experience.
