MESSAGE FROM THE LEADERSHIP
We asked Cheri Grogan, Head of School at Newton’s Grove School for their message.
They shared an overview of the vision, values, and guiding principles that shape both their leadership and the student experience at Newton’s Grove School.
Cheri Grogan, Head of School
Cheri Grogan believes that it is our role as educators to create a learning environment where we push our students to think critically and dig for deeper understanding through a balanced approach between traditional concept teaching, and more investigative inquiry-based approaches. And it is through this balanced approach of teaching and fostering a deeper understanding that provides the students with open-mindedness, curiosity and guided skepticism. She also believes that it is imperative that we embrace creativity, collaboration, authentic assessments and deep inquiry to awaken a passion for lifelong learning. At Newton’s Grove, we share this belief, and as such we continue to provide an exceptional academic program because we know that it is no longer about asking students what they want to be when they grow up, instead, we challenge and ask them what problems they would like to solve.
