Entwistle School is about relationships. The relationship between staff and students has created an environment where students thrive, and learning happens in many different ways. We want our students to develop a love for learning that will last a lifetime, and the school’s many programs support this goal. In fact, school programs such as our Advisory Program promote students from different grades working together to achieve common goals.

Entwistle School is also very much about family. When visitors walk in the door, they are greeted by a wall of student family photos. The families are as much a part of the school community as the students, and student success is a shared responsibility. It is no wonder that Entwistle School is known as “The Little School with the Big Heart.”
