Why Choose Intown?
We Think about Education Differently
Charlotte Mason believed children loved to learn when presented with rich material and the opportunity to explore. A Charlotte Mason education celebrates the whole child who was formed in the image of God. These methods develop students who display imagination and the ability to think creatively and critically about ideas. Some of our core principles include:
- Living Books - books that inspire thought and creativity, provide ideas and engage natural curiosity, and lead children to an authentic love for reading and learning
- Narration - the practice of repeating back what is heard or read for the purposes of gaining a deeper understanding and making connections
- Studies - picture, nature, and composer studies that are integrated into the humanities curriculum and inspire a love for God's world and the beauty within it
- Habits - working with parents to ensure children establish good habits at home and at school in the areas of: attention, perseverance, respect, obedience, self-control, responsibility, humility, integrity, honesty, and order
- Short lessons - providing children time to ruminate on information they've learned in order to think creatively about it, create connections and deeper meaning, and apply it in new ways
- Timeline - students create a visual representation of an historical timeline beginning in 4th grade and ending in 8th grade, so they understand how historical events connect
We are a Covenant Christian School
As a covenant Christian school, Intown hires Godly educators who freely share their testimonies and incorporate a Biblical worldview into all they teach. Our families are members in good standing of a church, and our students will build a strong Scriptural foundation. With intentionally small class sizes, our teachers take great delight in knowing each individual child's heart - his strengths and weaknesses, not only academically, but socially and spiritually as well.
We Value Parental Involvement
We partner with parents as the primary educators of their children, and as such, parents play a significant role in the lives of our students. Parents serve as classroom volunteers, field trip chaperones, service project coordinators, admission team representatives, and event coordinators. We hold a monthly parent meeting where teachers and parents discuss classroom activities and pray for one another. Not only do the children benefit from having parents involved in their schooling, utilizing volunteers helps keep our tuition costs low.
