We want our students to engage fully in athletics. We want them to take a risk, try a new sport, discover their strengths, and experience the highs and lows of competition.
Campus Life
Campus Life
The culture of teaching and learning at Paideia is both personal and individualized. We strive to greet and teach each child personally, understand children individually and encourage them to develop mindful of their own relative strengths and weaknesses, interests and dispositions.
