Mission
Radcliffe Creek School empowers children in a dynamic environment that celebrates unique learning.
Philosophy
At Radcliffe Creek School, the student is at the center of the learning process, therefore classroom instruction is tailored to each individual student. This process begins with the identification of each student’s strengths and weaknesses. The School creates an environment where customized learning goes hand-in-hand with academic success and better self-awareness.
Radcliffe Creek School believes that as each student develops a positive belief about oneself, he or she is able to engage in the learning process and become a more self-regulated and independent learner.
Diversity Statement
Radcliffe Creek School thrives from diversity and embraces people of all beliefs, styles, and backgrounds into our learning community. Intolerant of bias and based on core values of acceptance and respect, Radcliffe Creek School celebrates individual differences in its students, family members, faculty/staff, and Board of Trustees.​
The Five Pillars of
The Radcliffe Way
A Growth Mindset
All children can not only learn, but be successful. A growth mindset allows the belief that we are all works in progress -- including teachers, parents and administrators -- who are always working towards personal improvement.
Care and Connection
By feeling connected to their teachers and school, children’s brains are more open to learning and taking risks. We are a compassionate community that places children and their needs at the heart of all decision-making.
A Personalized Experience
At Radcliffe, we work hard to know every person's strengths and passions. Students come to our school to have their strengths accelerated and to help remediate their weaknesses. Their schedules are reflective of this endeavor.
Multi-Sensory Instruction
Multi-Sensory instruction is the secret sauce in our recipe for success. It is the underlying key to all instruction at RCS. Students learn by hearing, seeing, and experiencing instruction by the ability to do things in a hands-on way.
Genuine Feedback
Students learn best through authentic, specific, and explicit feedback on what they do well, but also regarding what needs improvement. Our parents are also kept apprised through daily updates in their student's Communication Book.
