About the Program:
BB&N’s mission is to promote scholarship, integrity, and kindness in diverse, curious, and motivated students. The School prepares students for lives of principled engagement in their communities and the world.
Beginners Program
What does it mean to be a learner and thinker? What is the shape of critical
thinking? These are the questions that inform the Beginner Program, shaping a
deeply integrated, research-based, child-centered approach to the educational
experience. In the Beginner classroom we are in a unique position to support young
children as they begin to define themselves as thinkers and learners in the school
setting. Through our work, we focus on developing habits of mind necessary for
critical thinking. Children engage in thoughtful investigations about the world,
challenging themselves to think deeply about their interests and questions,
discovering new ways of deepening their knowledge.
Our curricular model and the learning that it implies extends far beyond the confines
of the classroom or the school building. The Beginner curriculum engages the
richness of each child’s experience, inviting the breadth of their lives into the core of
the curriculum. The ultimate goal of this philosophy is to stimulate and scaffold a
passion, respect, and method for learning about and being in the world.
The Beginner Program has a particular vision of the child as a learner. Each aspect
of the curriculum relates to this child: an engaged, thoughtful, respectful, and
investigative learner. This is what we seek from ourselves, from teachers, from our
students, and from our classroom communities. It is with this vision of the child in
mind that we outline the structure of our curricular philosophy.
