The faculty and administraton will work to create and sustain efectve partnerships with all families by encouraging open lines of communicaton, cultvatng a common vision, and ensuring that interactons are mutually respectul. In doing so, we seek to be an atractve opton for a diverse group of students, families, and teachers. Together we will create and sustain an inclusive, equitable community which values diversity and multculturalism, and provides maximum opportunites for learning.

We Value: ñ Excellence ñ Personal responsibility, civility, collaboraton, and good sportsmanship ñ A love of learning and creatve expression ñ The relatonship between teachers and students ñ The partnership between the School and parents ñ Respect for individual diferences, cultures, customs, and beliefs while seeking points of unity ñ A multcultural school community and an innovatve curriculum that provide maximum opportunites for learning 56 Burditt Avenue | Hingham, Massachusetts | derbyacademy.org 2 Statement of Diversity and Inclusion At Derby Academy, we recognize and value the characteristcs that contribute to each individual’s full identty to include race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, culture, natonality, family structure, language, sexual identty, socioeconomic background, physical diferences and learning styles. Our mission is to cultvate a school community infused with a multplicity of voices and perspectves. By moving beyond individual experiences, we learn to think critcally, adapt, communicate, collaborate, imagine, understand, and grow. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where each person freely brings his or her whole self to school each day, confdent that every individual will be respected. We believe that being a truly inclusive community requires constant atenton, at tmes involving moments of uncertainty and misunderstanding. We dedicate ourselves to use conversaton as a catalyst for the growth and change we seek. ACADEMICS Derby’s academic curriculum builds from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8, creatng confdence through achievement and emphasizing the strong work ethic needed for long-term success. Students learn by doing, using Derby’s classrooms and facilites for exploring creatve problem-solving. Engaged faculty and cross-disciplinary projects foster the essental skills of innovaton, critcal thinking, collaboraton, and a lifelong passion for learning. Derby graduates gain admission to top secondary schools and experience a high level of success wherever they choose to go afer Derby. Primary School Derby’s Primary School classrooms are joyful places of exploraton and discovery, where the foundaton for future academic and social learning can be found and where strong, respectul relatonships are at the heart of the school day. Derby frmly believes that when a child feels safe, respected, supported, and well -known by the adults in the community, he or she will thrive. Social and emotonal learning is vital to the academic success of every child. 56 Burditt Avenue | Hingham, Massachusetts | derbyacademy.org 3 The unique Mind and Heart curriculum begins in the Primary School and contnues through Grade 3, blending together the Responsive Classroom and Open Circle programs to guide the youngest students in their journey toward healthy social growth and peer relatonships. The Responsive Classroom focuses on ensuring the academic setng is developmentally appropriate, has a positve sense of community and is efectvely managed. This approach promotes an empathetc, caring community centered on the social and emotonal growth of every child. Students and teachers work together from the Open Circle curriculum, which develops children's skills for recognizing and managing emotons, developing empathy and positve relatonships, and fostering problem-solving skills. Lower School (Grades 1-3) In the Lower School, children are learning to be independent problem-solvers and positve members of their school community. An advanced academic program, motvated peer groups, and a supportve network of teachers inspire students to push their thinking and make deep connectons across subject areas. In the Lower School classrooms, children are learning to be allies with their peers, to think for themselves in ethical ways, and to be accountable for their words and actons. At each grade level reading, writng, and math specialists are an integral part of the teaching team. Regular team meetngs allow for important conversatons about student work and cross-curricular planning, allowing for student learning to build upon a deeper understanding within a broader experience. Middle School (Grades 4-5) The Middle School years inspire children’s curiosity to reach well beyond the classroom. Derby’s Middle School division builds on the foundatonal skills established in the Lower School while supportng the children as they tackle more complex areas of study and develop as adolescents – intellectually, socially, emotonally, and physically. The homeroom-based program in Grades 4 and 5 integrates the ‘heart’ of Derby’s mission to guide students “toward an awakening sense of personal responsibility.” 56 Burditt Avenue | Hingham, Massachusetts | derbyacademy.org 4 Middle School students’ academic worlds expand through an interdisciplinary, project-based approach that challenges and engages the whole child as they move toward more abstract thinking, intellectual growth, and independent problem solving. The Open Circle program includes core concepts of leadership, self and social- awareness, decision-making, and belonging. This curriculum permeates all areas of student life and encourages students to develop the skills necessary to negotate relatonships, solve problems in teams, and build a beter understanding of their role in their community. Building on their foundatonal skills in science, math, reading, writng, history, and Spanish, as well as expanding opportunites in the arts, sports, extracurricular actvites, community service, and student leadership, the Middle School years provide a well- rounded life on campus in which students’ growth, discovery, and increased independence prepare them for successful years in the Upper School and beyond. Upper School (Grades 6-8) Students fnd their voice, join the conversaton, lead, and make change. With the confdence and skills instlled in Middle School, Derby students approach their Upper School years with a sense of

    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts grade 7 immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported students in grade 7. Schools that reported fewer than 30 students in grade 7 are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data,

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.
