PAIDEIA SCHOOL
Our admissions process for 2021-2022 will include many different ways for prospective families to get to know Paideia virtually.
In an ordinary year I would welcome you to our lovely office in a 1920s house on the Paideia campus. If you look closely at this picture, you will notice a giant bottle of hand sanitizer on the mantelpiece. Unfortunately, that is a sign of the current times. Because of health and safety concerns, we will not be able to welcome you physically to campus this fall. This has been a great opportunity to recreate our admissions events so we can introduce you to Paideia virtually. We have many exciting events planned for the coming months (see calendar). In the meantime, please submit our short inquiry form to receive Paideia viewbooks and connect with us. All of us on the admissions team look forward to meeting you virtually, and hopefully soon in person.
Caroline Quillian Stubbs
Director of Admissions and Enrollment Management
All admissions events are virtual, including small group tours of our half-day and elementary programs. Log-in to Ravenna, our admissions platform, and find tour registration link among application steps.

We hope our viewbooks offer a glimpse into our school community and a useful introduction to Paideia's personalized approach to teaching children. Our viewbooks provide information about each division within the school and how Paideia teachers engage with students at different stages of academic and personal growth.
Please fill out our form to view or download our viewbooks.

Since March 2020, Paideia’s teachers have created rich, engaging online instruction at all levels of the school. The teacher-driven approach to our curriculum gives our teachers flexibility and freedom to create learning experiences that capture students’ interests and imaginations. Although it is challenging to teach from afar, Paideia School remains committed to quality instruction, whether teachers share classroom spaces or screens with their students.
A few of our teachers address the intangibles that make Paideia "Paideia."
Gregory Mancini, High School Social Studies, and Lindsay Reid, High School Science, teamed up to create their class, Disease and the Modern World.
David Millians '84, fifth and sixth grade teacher, talks about humor, kids and teaching.
Eddy Hernandez, Assistant Dean of Students and Modern Languages teacher, talks about his relationships with his students and colleagues.
Lou, a seventh and eighth grade teacher, speaks about student authenticity and empowerment.
Monique Dawson, Junior High Athletic Director, speaks on respect, accountability, teamwork and effort.
Stephanie Feinman and Brian Eames '88 discuss their classroom of fourth and fifth graders.
One of Paideia’s traditions is the “Why I Teach” speech at the annual faculty retreat. What follows are excerpts from years past.
