About Beechwood Knoll Elementary

 

Beechwood Knoll Elementary School reopened its doors in September 1995, after being closed for several years.   The renovated original structure and the new addition house kindergarten through fifth grade students.  Situated on a salt marsh, Beechwood students use the natural environment – the marsh, a creek, a brook, and the bay – for environmental habitat studies.

Message from the Principal:

It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you and your child, to the Beechwood Knoll Elementary School.  At the Beechwood Knoll School, we are committed to make your child’s learning experience as rich and rewarding as possible.

It is our mission to assist students to become strong academically, socially and physically.  We strive to help children discover and explore their gifts and talents, and to value and respect each other’s uniqueness.  We aspire to teach the children to respect themselves, their community and their environment.

As principal of the Beechwood Knoll School, I invite you to join the staff, students, parents and school partners in our collaborative effort.

Academics:

Elementary School is an important first step in your child’s education. Quincy Public Schools are there from the first time your kindergartner picks out a book at the school library to the first grader having success in math to upper grades where students take their basis of knowledge and expand it to more advanced thinking.

Programs:

At Beechwood Knoll, we strive to educate the whole child – mind, body and spirit.  We know that different children learn in different ways – and that education does not take place just in the classroom. We offer numerous before and after-school enrichment programs. For a complete list of current programs, please call the main office 617-984-8781.
