Thank you for your interest in The Foote School Foote is a vibrant place where teachers and staff strive to balance exuberance with reflection. Every effort is made to help children achieve their potential with limited class size, small group instruction, and attention to the individual in an encouraging atmosphere. Teachers provide careful grounding in verbal and mathematical skills while fostering creativity and self-confidence. These skills are integrated into a rich and imaginative curriculum of literature, history, mathematics, science, technology, writing, foreign languages, the arts and athletics. Foote cultivates an atmosphere of mutual consideration and respect through close relationships among teachers, students, and parents. We emphasize the necessity for cooperative effort, accountability for one’s actions, the value of service to the school community and the world beyond, and the many satisfactions of kindness to others.
