LITTLE RIVER COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Mission

Mission - Little River Community School is a democratic school serving students in grades K-12, in a four-classroom schoolhouse, in Canton, NY. At Little River, we have a fundamental trust in children and their inherent motivation to learn about their world. Our approach nurtures self-motivation and is characterized by the following: Multi-age groups Commitment to nonviolence and nondiscrimination Cooperation Community involvement Appreciation of our natural and physical world Hands-on activities Children are given the opportunity to embark on their quest for knowledge and understanding at their own pace. We provide many resources for this journey, including experience, support, encouragement, a variety of hands-on learning materials and opportunities for field trips. With a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, we create the "one-room school house" model where students of all ages work together.
