About

Green Acres School was founded in 1934 as the first racially integrated school in Montgomery County, by parents who wanted to develop, through their children’s educational experience, a deep sense of social responsibility. Green Acres instills a strong set of academic, interpersonal, and leadership skills that will serve students well in high school, college, and into adulthood. As you consider Green Acres, ask yourself, would you be excited if your child: Developed strong and respectful relationships with each teacher? Engaged in challenging and interesting schoolwork that builds core academic skills? Practiced being a respectful citizen, collaborator, self-advocate, and confident leader? Experienced the joy of music, the arts, and athletics? Developed a lifelong appreciation for our multicultural world and diverse local community? Enjoyed the outdoors, developing a sense of stewardship for the environment? Loved coming to school every day? At Green Acres, we are committed both to the principles of progressive education and to ongoing exploration of what this means in the 21st century. I invite you to explore our website to gain a deeper understanding of who we are as a leader in progressive education. Green Acres faculty members understand that at the heart of a great school lies genuine respect for each student and a curriculum that challenges students academically, ethically, and socially. We all understand that students need to become strong readers, writers, speakers, mathematicians, and scientists. We also believe that students must become independent thinkers capable of much more than rote memorization. Rather than simply demonstrating what they remember, our students show what they can do with information and how they can apply concepts through engaging projects and multi-faceted problems. At Green Acres, children not only write, read, and compute. They also play, plant, design, act, build, sing, invent, explore, and perform community service. Our teachers are masters of their subjects, who teach with a holistic approach and with a keen understanding of, and sensitivity to, the complexities of each child’s development.
