What makes Metcalf unique for students and families? An
overwhelming response has to do with freedom and choice of both
teachers and students. Although our curriculum is aligned to
state standards, our teachers have freedom to be professionals
and do what they believe is best for their students in the
classroom. We do have alignment of curriculum, but the way a
teacher differentiates to meet the needs of the learners is not
dictated by a master curriculum map, but by the professional in
the classroom. We believe that the academics, arts, and wellness
are all important to the growth of an individual and we continue
to support programs that allow students to be well rounded. We
hold to this philosophy during the school day and through the
extracurricular choices we offer. We are fortunate to have a
strong PTO that supports this philosophy and they gift our
teachers with incredible grants for their classrooms. General
