Enrollment and Class Size
For the 2011-2012 academic year, 58 students are enrolled in our preschool, 76 are enrolled in our Lower School, and 37 in our Middle School. The student-teacher ratio in the preschool is about 7:1; while Lower and Middle School class sizes range from 12 - 16 students on average.
Faculty
Our faculty are exceptionally well-qualified and dedicated, and they bring a range of backgrounds and expertise to their teaching. Two-thirds of our faculty members hold advanced degrees in education, the arts, and other fields. Their commitment to education is evident in their record of publication, participation in conferences, and their many years of teaching experience.
Our Campus
The campus is a 28-acre former private estate that offers nature trails, two playgrounds, a soccer field, and tennis courts. These grounds and buildings are of considerable historic and architectural interest. The woods and gardens also form an extended classroom used by teachers and students at all grade levels for exploration and experimentation.
We have plans to expand our facilities to accommodate our growing student body. the first phase - currently in progress - is a commons building which will include some classroom space. Phase two will include state-of-the-art classroom space and an art studio. Further plans call for construction of three more classroom buildings and several auxiliary buildings over the next decade, as well as renovation and restoration of the historic buildings and gardens.
Community-Building Activities
Throughout the year, our Parents' Association sponsors events such as the Fall Hoedown and Flourish, our annual auction. Our directors, faculty and guest speakers periodically give community-wide presentations on topics relating to child development, educational best practice, and new directions in the curriculum.
Inclusiveness
Sabot at Stony Point seeks to provide a welcoming and respectful environment for the students and families in our community, who represent a range of racial, ethnic, religious, occupational and socio-economic backgrounds. Students of color make up 13% of our student body, and approximately 16% of students receive financial aid.
School Governance and Parent Involvement
Sabot at Stony Point is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of parents and community professionals. The Parents' Association offers an important avenue for parents to participate in the life of the school. In addition, parents assist the school on a volunteer basis in a variety of roles, with some parents extensively involved in the program.
