Joel School is designed for young learners who are
just beginning their formal education. Our primary
goal is to provide children a strong academic,
social and emotional foundation. Curricula and
educational programs have been developed based on
state and national guidelines to meet the needs of
these young learners. Instruction is designed to be
appropriate developmentally and to meet the needs of
the diverse learning styles of primary-aged
children. The kindergarten program is a full-day
program. Kindergarten parents may select a half-day
program. In grades two and three, parents have
three placement options: single grade, looping or a
2/3 integrated day multi-grade class. Reading,
writing and mathematics form the core of instruction
at Joel. All content areas support this
instruction. Students are also provided important
foundational concepts and skills in Spanish,
physical education, art, music and library.
Again this year, Joel School will be hosting
exchange students from Liestal University in Basel,
Switzerland, offering the Clinton School children a
unique cultural experience. (see Swiss Intern
Program)
Special events include an Open House in September,
monthly cultural assemblies, Family Math and
Literacy Nights, and winter and spring choral
concerts. Parents are encouraged to join our parent
organization, Friends of Joel, and to become
involved in school activities.
