Multiple Intelligences

The World of Smart
Enota's program of choice is focused on the theory of Multiple Intelligences, based on the work of Harvard Professor, Dr. Howard Gardner. Multiple Intelligences theory does not ask, "How smart are you," but rather, "How are you smart?"

Our curriculum includes activities ranging from rigorous reading and math instruction to creative movement and dance. Other student-centered offerings include Spanish instruction, Orff musical instrument training, after-school programs and an interactive town run by students. At Enota we offer something for every child, making our school an ideal environment for many, especially children in the same family with different interests.
