Lime Tree Primary School Competitors

The mission of Lakeside School is to develop in intellectually capable young people the creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits needed to contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society. We provide a rigorous and dynamic academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning. We are committed to sustaining a school in which individuals representing diverse cultures and experiences instruct one another in the meaning and value of community and in the joy and importance of lifelong learning.

The Westfield School is committed to the belief that technology instruction is an enhancement of the educational process. We are committed to integrating technology, where appropriate, in each academic discipline, grade level, and course offering. Technology serves as a resource through which students can discover, investigate, and solve problems. Students must be able to determine when to use technology, and then have the skills and resources to do so. In addition to offering a wireless campus, Westfield includes five computer labs. Three of the labs are located in one wing of the school for Middle and Upper School students, and a smaller lab is located in the Media Center. The Lower School lab is used for technology instruction in grades Pre-K through 5. To further integrate technology into the classroom, mobile carts with laptops and iPads are available for students and teachers. Also to enhance instruction, classrooms and science labs are equipped with interactive white boards and LCD projectors. We constantly look for ways to integrate technology throughout our campus and within our classrooms to enhance student learning. Our student information database gives our students an electronic identity campus wide along with student/parent global access to track academic progress and attendance. All of these services are secured using state-of-the-art firewalls and comprehensive internet security programs to keep student data private and confidential. The Westfield School will continue to enhance all areas of school operations including administration, business, academics, athletics, and student life with current technologies and practices.

Valley View School is a small, private therapeutic boarding school serving boys in grades 6-12. We are a therapeutic community fostering the growth of our students through a well-developed, integrative program where supportive interventions and high expectations are balanced to create a structured and supportive learning environment. It is where our students are taught to learn self-control and anger management, to create and cultivate relationships with peers and adults, to develop compassion, empathy, and respect for others, and to realize their true potential. Our overall program consists of a comprehensive blend of Therapy, Academics, Athletics, Arts, and Activities that challenge our students emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Our students are between the ages of 10-15 upon enrollment and may have a history clinically identified as Anxiety, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and School Phobias, which may be created by life experiences such as adoption, divorce, early attachment issues, and frustration with family, peers, and school. Our experienced clinical staff consists of licensed Ph.D. Clinical Psychologists, a Board Certified Child Psychiatrist, and Master's level Clinicians. Our therapeutic approach is based on a student's individual needs. Valley View students participate in a full, challenging academic school day with a state-recognized college-prep curriculum. Ten full-time teachers provide a supportive learning environment that includes small class sizes, individual attention, and supplemental tutoring. Each student has the opportunity to compete at appropriate levels in multiple sports. We offer an active arts program, wilderness adventure, work ethic program, weekly clubs, and weekly community service projects. Our mission is to create a stable, consistent and structured environment (milieu) where the total impact of the experience upon a boy contributes to his becoming the best possible version of himself.
