  • Our Mission:

We welcome your interest in Cambridge Square Private School. Our school provides a strong academic foundation coupled with high expectations for our students. Cambridge Square is an independent, state accredited, co-educational preparatory school whose purpose is to generate true excitement in learning for each student.

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."

...Plutarch

Our approach to education is based upon our belief that the development and nurturing of intellectual curiosity, self-discipline and motivation is essential to the learning process. Our curriculum seeks to develop in each student a firm basis in problem solving, independent inquiry and communication in all forms.

The curriculum is designed to provide a well rounded academic foundation by placing emphasis upon achieving proficiency in the processes of learning rather than simple memorization. Fundamental academic disciplines of reading, writing, speaking, and mathematics are the core of the curriculum. From this primary foundation the curriculum extends out into other disciplines to develop the intellectual, creative, and physical needs of each student.

Parents are encouraged to participate in all school activities. We have a very active Parent Support Organization that is involved in many different aspects of the school. Communication among faculty, parents, and students  is intended to encourage interaction and involvement and to provide a strong team devoted to developing each individual to achieving their highest potential.

We welcome the opportunity for you to tour the school, view the curriculum and allow us to answer questions on how we could best serve the interests of your child.
