Welcome!
Your child's growth at Fox River is important to us - your whole child. In a values-based program with character development
and academic excellence at its core, the three Rs just arent enough.
Developing character at our School in the Woods, means that your child will:
Become a thoughtful, well-rounded, original thinker
Discover his or her integrity, strength; intelligence and energy
Study the lives of great thinkers past and present
Learn to take risks
Be skilled in the ability to give and accept constructive criticism
Emphasize ethics and character development
Experience joy in learning and take satisfaction in sharing knowledge and skill
Embracing academic excellence requires that our core curriculum:
Reflect the best practices in education
Integrate the arts, sciences and humanities
Be dynamic, sustaining, and reflective of the lives and experiences of our students
Be active and flexible and can be modified at any given time
Prepare students to be informed citizens through information, problem solving, and critical and creative thinking
In a school that promises excellence, faculty must:
Be exemplary, dedicated, inspired
Encourage use of all functions of thinking for optimal creative development
Facilitate spontaneous discussions as well as planned performances
Understand that learning is a process that continues throughout life
Provide interdisciplinary projects
Allow students to delve into subjects
Appreciating the individuality of our students necessitates that we:
Recognize, reinforce and develop the unique characteristics of each individual student
Modify curriculum appropriately to respond to unique needs of students
See the unlimited potential in each individual
Be sensitive to the needs of contemporary society
Society is enriched by the highest development of all its members. At Fox River Country Day School we are proud of the
exemplary program offered to each individual, and we are grateful for the special privilege of working with our students and their families.
Very sincerely,
Karen Morse
Head of School
