Welcome
Welcome to Southwark's Web Site. You do not have to go any further to take in a wealth of information about an innovative school with wonderful children, an outstanding faculty, a nurturing administrator, and supportive and caring parents.
Our host of scholars consists of a staff subscribing to the slogan "inquiring minds want to know..." Our teachers have led the way in grant writing, integrated curricular units, alternative assessment, looping, and a model ESOL program that is second to none.
Our 500 students benefit from the interventions of the Comprehensive Student Assistance Program, (CSAP). As an academic or emotional situation develops, support can be obtained for student, teacher, and family.
At Southwark, we believe that literacy for the future means literacy in multiple technologies. Up-to-date Macintosh OS X computers are present in every classroom. Instruction using computers in those classrooms is moving every student and teacher into the 21st century. Examples of our computer based resources include Apangea Learning and Study Island. Our 6th, 7th and 8th grade classrooms benefit from laptop carts and Computerized Interactive White Boards.
Southwark School's mission statement includes the belief that it takes the concentrated effort of every person in our "village" to help children develop the skills needed to succeed as adults, to become future decision makers, to be problem solvers, to be creative thinkers, and to become lifelong learners.
