Work Hard, Find Joy
& Be Kind

Welcome to Tenacre

Every day at Tenacre begins with a handshake as the head of school greets arriving students. This act of trust and personal attention sets the tone for all that follows. At Tenacre, we embrace the elementary years.
 
As a Pre-K through Grade 6 coed school, we offer a dynamic and exciting environment in which children progressively develop critical thinking skills, become confident and joyful learners, and move forward into higher education and life as caring citizens.

    Wishing everybody a wonderful winter break, a joyous holiday season, and a happy new year! We look forward to welcoming back students and staff in January.
  • Students shine in December Celebration concert

    After weeks of preparing, students in grades 3–6 performed their December Celebration concert yesterday, singing songs, giving readings, and showcasing a dance finale. The two performances were outstanding and provided a joyful and energizing way to end school before winter break.
  • Grandparents applaud performances

    Over the last two weeks, Tenacre has been thrilled to welcome grandparents to Tenacre’s December performances: December Nights, December Lights, which featured students from pre-kindergarten through second grade, and December Celebration, which featured students from grades 3–6. A large contingent of grandparents attended the receptions and smiled and applauded their grandchildren during both performances.
