Parents of Lynnea (PYP 8)
Our family was and remains attracted to The Codrington School, because the style of teaching suits our daughter’s style of learning, the school promotes diversity, as more than 30 different countries are represented, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The philosophy of the International Baccalaureate Program continues to appeal to us, as the learner profile is rooted in most, if not all, subjects, and the inquiry based foundation enables the students, including our 11 year old daughter, to not only think outside the box, but sometimes think outside the room the box is in. We believe the hands-on approach connects our daughter’s discovery and learning to everyday life situations. This is an invaluable application in our view. Additionally, the class sizes are managed, which fosters favorable student teacher ratios. Our daughter maintains a positive attitude about Codrington, including her teachers, classmates, and the staff. She enjoys going to school, and has found some of her closest friends there. As parents, we have also developed some wonderful relationships with other families and staff members. We embrace these personal connections, knowing the important role they play in our family’s life. Even though Codrington rests on a beautiful setting in the midst of whispering pines overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the draw of the school is much more about the people, than the place. We count ourselves blessed to be part of the Codrington family.
