At The Priory School, one of our greatest strengths is our small size. We know that children excel when provided with small group learning opportunities, and that's why we've made it our mission to provide a personalized education that meets the needs of each student.

Since its founding, The Priory has prided itself on its small size, believing that it not only fosters closer relationships among students, staff, and parents, but also provides a more personalized, tailored educational experience. Our small size has always encouraged student voices to rise, thereby cultivating confident, articulate, and proactive individuals.

Our dedicated faculty also benefit from this smaller scale, allowing them a greater degree of connection with each student. It provides teachers with the opportunity to tailor lessons and curricula based on individual student needs and interests. This deeper understanding between teachers and students not only enhances the learning experience but also promotes a more enthusiastic, motivated approach to education.

Parents, as integral members of our Priory school community, are likewise empowered by our size. The intimate setting fosters a genuine sense of belonging and involvement, facilitating open lines of communication between the school and home. Parents feel more engaged, and this positive relationship contributes to a supportive educational environment for our students.

Today, The Priory continues to uphold its intimate, schoolhouse model as one of its primary strengths. Our class schedules allow for instruction in groups of 12–14 students to take place throughout the day. By maintaining smaller class sizes, we promote a dynamic learning environment that promotes a nurturing space where both students and staff feel safe to take risks, learn from their mistakes, and continually grow. By encouraging an ethos of inquiry, experimentation, and reflection, we foster individuals who are not only well-rounded but also capable of meeting future challenges with confidence and creativity.
