Teaching and Learning at Ross

Over a child’s years at Ross, he or she will learn to ask questions and seek to find answers. Teachers teach to develop children holistically — not just, for example, mathematicians and readers, but also thinkers, speakers, listeners, citizens, and leaders.  At Ross, children are known deeply as individuals, and lessons are designed to teach what children need and want to know next. Whether learning how to play an instrument or how to write an argument, Ross students are actively and cooperatively engaged learners. The joy of accomplishing goals and showing off new learning fill the halls.
