Responsive Classroom   

Grades K-5 at University School operate under the Northeast Foundation for Children's Responsive Classroom Model.

Key components of the Responsive Classroom Model are morning meeting, rules and logical consequences, classroom organization, academic choice, guided discovery, and assessment and reporting to parents. 

Results of the Responsive Classroom Model include a balance of teacher-directed instruction and child-initiated learning, student responsibility for work and environment, caring behavior, problem-solving ability both socially and academically, and parental involvement and understanding.
