At the Peabody School, we believe that each individual has a natural dignity and worth that merits caring, respect, and honesty and fosters initiative, industry and resourcefulness. As a community of students, parents, and teachers, and as individuals, we recognize cultural diversity as a way of life. We endeavor to provide an environment that fosters the principles and ideals of society and encourages the development of each student’s potential. We have many co-curricular programs to promote these ideals.
