How we see The Sterling Hall School
Boys' schools often state that they know boys, or are boy-friendly, though too often those statements aren't qualified. The Sterling Hall School, thankfully, defines what they mean: energy, curiosity, and exploration. Certainly, boys from JK to Grade 8 typically have those in abundance, and the program at Sterling Hall is intended to focus things a bit, channeling those natural attributes toward higher order growth and understanding. Confidence, resilience, motivation, goals—we think that boys naturally have these, but they don't. That Sterling Hall places those kinds of values out front is telling of the overall instructional approach. The ideal student is one who can thrive in a structured, challenging, collaborative, and close-knit learning environment. Parent involvement in the life the of the school is both welcome and encouraged.
