Foote teachers instill a joy of learning by encouraging questions that lead students on an exciting journey of discovery. Teachers value each child’s input, thoughts, ideas and experiences. Two-thirds of our faculty members hold advanced degrees and almost half have been at Foote for more than 10 years.
