Life at Hutch School is probably different from your home school. We have mixed-aged classrooms, usually a smaller setting, and a shorter day. The work your children do will not be the exact same work they would be doing at home. The ultimate goal of school during the first four years in any setting however, is the same. The goals are: to foster independence, confidence and a love of learning; to make friends, learn to work together and respect individual differences; to make progress towards fluency in reading, writing, and mathematics; to pose and solve problems; and to learn to ask questions and pursue answers. At Hutch School your child will be engaged in a variety of activities that will provide opportunities to grow emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically.

Once you have enrolled we will contact your child’s teacher at his/her home school. We will send a report to the school when it is time for your child to return, answer questions the teacher may have and help in the transition home in any way that seems appropriate.

What to bring:
Please bring the contact information for your child’s current school, address, phone number, and email. It is fine if a student leaves all books at home; Hutch School can provide all supplies and materials. It is also fine if someone wants to bring a math, spelling or phonics workbook. Our program is tailored to meet individual needs.
