Greenwich Public Schools

Greenwich Public Schools consist of 11 neighborhood elementary schools (K-5), three middle schools (6-8) and one high school (9-12), with an offsite alternative high school program. Students are assigned to elementary and middle schools based on residential attendance areas. Four of the elementary schools and one middle school also serve as magnet schools, offering a programmatic choice for families (Hamilton Avenue School, The International School at Dundee, Julian Curtiss School, New Lebanon School and Western Middle School). Tuition and lottery-based preschool programs are also offered for residents and employees of the Town of Greenwich. The Greenwich Public Schools is a diverse learning environment for students and educators alike and values the variety of languages and backgrounds within our district. 

STRATEGIC GOALS: 
Academic Goal - To ensure each student achieves optimal growth within the core academic disciplines based on multiple variables. 
Personal Goal - To ensure each student develops the capacity to be responsible for his or her own physical and mental health. 
Interpersonal Goal - To ensure each student demonstrates growth in personal development and civic responsibility.

The Greenwich Public Schools emphasizes professional learning, a Digital Learning Environment (one-to-one devices) and diversity. Greenwich deeply values professional learning because it informs and is a part of everyday life at our schools. It is an integral part of teacher collaboration, planning, evaluation and assessment activities to ensure that professional learning is a key component of the Greenwich Public School teaching career, relevant to a teacher’s professional needs and aligned with Greenwich Public School goals. The objectives of the Digital Learning Environment (DLE) are to transform teaching and learning, to accelerate the academic achievement of all students, and to improve the personal well-being of all students. As an ongoing initiative, the DLE provides teachers with the resources necessary to innovate and differentiate instruction according to the needs of each student. It provides opportunities for students to personalize their own learning by making choices about how they learn and present new knowledge. Through the DLE and one-to-one device policy, our students all have access to the same information via the same educational tools.

Greenwich High School seniors have some opportunities to work with underclassmen and explore the roles of mentoring, tutoring, volunteering and supporting students in the classroom setting. Seniors that take advantage of an internship spend their last four to five weeks of the school year completing a field experience in our schools and within under the guidance of one of our faculty mentors. Greenwich Public Schools looks to afford its alumni internship opportunities as they pursue careers in education. Greenwich Public Schools also works closely with universities to provide their students with internship opportunities and field experiences.
