Just prior to Winter Break, physical education teacher Mark McEachern handed out jump ropes to every student in Kindergarten through Grade 4. The assignment? Get familiar with jumping rope in anticipation of National Heart Month in February!
Hamden Hall Lower School students were part of a global initiative last year that sent more than 20,000 valentines to soldiers overseas. This year, despite the fact that the Hugs for Soldiers program has suspended the project due to COVID-19, our community is one of the few schools across the country asked to participate with student artwork.
Our Lower School classrooms have a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio. In our PreSchool through Kindergarten classrooms the student-to-teacher ratio is 6:1.
Our Lower School students spend at least 160 minutes per week engaged in physical education, and our Grade 6 students participate in Middle School athletics.
Students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 explore the arts - both the performing arts and visual arts - for 140 minutes each week!
Hamden Hall Country Day School is a nurturing and inclusive community with a dynamic learning environment that promotes academic excellence by understanding each child and fostering their individual growth.
