Hello Everyone. I am Ms. Kim Davis, the Principal of Paideia School 24. Welcome to the Paideia School 24 website. Take a look to get information about the school philosophy, programs, and activities. As Principal of Paideia School 24, I am excited about the possibilities that each school year brings for all students.

Paideia School 24 is a place where all children are nurtured and encouraged to do and be their best. Through the various programs and activities at Paideia 24, children are actively engaged to build important foundational study skills.

The Paideia classroom incorporates the three-column instructional approach to teaching and learning. The first column is the didactic column, whereby the teacher introduces the concept or lesson. The second column is the coaching column, whereby students demonstrate their learning. The final column is the Socratic seminar, whereby students get to have a discussion and express themselves about a piece of literature or a piece of artwork.

In addition, at Paideia School 24, students are encouraged to be productive citizens. The school-wide slogan, "Positive Attitudes will Succeed," is known by all students, and is the guiding principle for daily interactions. During daily morning announcements, children are asked to "turn to your neighbor, give a compliment and a smile."

Paideia 24 students are encouraged to read each day to reach the goal of reading a minimum of 25 books for the schoolyear. The Author-of-Month activity awards students who read books and complete a writing response sheet. Children are also recognized and rewarded at the Awards Ceremony for outstanding classwork and homework.

 Parents, your input is needed to help to restructure the Paideia 24 PTA. If you are interested in becoming a part of the team to form a new PTA please call the school.  

Please feel free to contact the school with any questions.
