Norwood School

s the bar high and is committed to educating the whole child – intellectually, socially, and ethically – in a student-centered, challenging, and nurturing environment. Norwood was founded in 1952 by Frances Marsh, who was determined to create “a happy place of learning filled with art and music where each child feels supported and valued.” She wanted Norwood to be a school where when children left at the end of the day, they couldn’t wait to return in the morning. Norwood teachers challenge students and expect them to challenge themselves, but they do so in an environment that is nurturing, supportive, and reflective of the School's belief that learning at its best is a joyful process

Norwood’s child-centered approach to education and its very intentional emphasis on being a happy place of learning create an environment where each individual child is loved, nurtured, challenged, and truly known.
