EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO SHAPE TOMORROW
Eleanor Skillen School 34 is a vibrant learning institution that has been part of the Bean Creek Community for over 128 years. Our school is transitioning to a Montessori academic program in the 2024-25 school year. We offer a student-focused learning environment with diverse teaching strategies and methods. This enriched academic setting is designed to prepare our students for future endeavors, whether they choose to be enrolled, enlisted, or employed.
We value our students’ emotional and intellectual growth, while focusing on empowering them to think critically and productively with an emphasis on kindness. With our planned facility upgrades, we aim to ensure a vibrant and welcoming environment for all students. Our guiding mission is to develop kind, compassionate leaders, innovators, and problem solvers, who will grow to be productive citizens in our ever-changing world.
