A Unique Community – Rich with Traditions

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

“SRS gave them the confidence to try new activities…because their time at SRS demonstrated that trying different things can be a very positive experience. Most importantly, SRS allowed them both to have a strong sense of self going into high school, along with a belief in demonstrating respect for all of their peers, regardless of how close or distant they were in their relationships to others.”

 

Maryellen and Craig R., Alumni Parents

“SRS has made it possible for us to be a full time working family and have our children thrive in a full school experience. The flexible hours and on-campus experiences combined with the great education and loving teachers it has been well beyond what we could have imagined. Shaker is a place that our children love to be and as parents we know when we drop them off they are safe and happy.

 

Tracey P., Current and Alumni Parent

“SRS does not just provide excellent academics, but a strong sense of community, as well. SRS is a family, so much so, that my two graduates have come back as camp counselors during summer camp. Another amazing strength of Shaker is all the opportunities and field trips offered outside of, or in support of, academics. Some of my kids’ greatest memories are the trips to D.C., AMC, leadership, etc. “

On Grandparents’ Day, students performed a short set of songs including “Baby Beluga” by Kindergarten through Second Grade, “Hound Dog” by Third and Fourth Grade, “We Are the Champions” by Fifth and Sixth Grade, and “Sweet Caroline” by Seventh and Eighth Grade. The Middle School Rock Band, a dedicated group of music students, accompanied several of them.
At SRS, we are fortunate to have a passionate team of music educators. Rachel Minsinger heads the music curriculum from Infants through Eighth Grade, offers private lessons, directs chorus and band ensembles, and leads school music events. Scott Solsky directs the Rock and Jazz Bands and also teaches private lessons, working alongside a team of talented music instructors. Enjoy these clips from the finale “Sweet Caroline,” performed by the Seventh and Eighth Grade students and the SRS Rock Band (with grandparents joining in at just the right times—way love it!).

Experiencing wildlife is just one of the many benefits of teaching and learning on a spacious campus surrounded by fields, woods, and ponds. Be sure to read Dr. Matt`s latest blog post, "The Gift of Sharing a Campus with Wildlife," and explore some incredible photos captured over the years.

Each year, our Seventh Grade students embark on an alpine educational adventure in the White Mountains in collaboration with the Appalachian Mountain Club. This year`s journey began at the Highland Center Lodge in Crawford Notch. After spending the first night at the lodge, the students hiked to the col between Mt. Jackson and Mt. Pierce. They spent two nights at the Mizpah Spring Hut, where they went on day hikes and explored the surrounding area. Throughout the trip, students learned about hiking in the White Mountains, gained trail knowledge, practiced using a map and compass, and studied natural features. This experience also helps students identity and set group and personal goals for the year.

Catch a glimpse of their time in the mountains!
