Our Fox Run Elementary School Scholars and parents build wooden sign pieces from scratch that are worthy of their home walls

Our Fox Run Elementary School Scholars Transition Program students and their parents brought their creativity and willingness to learn to build wooden sign pieces from scratch that are worthy of their home walls. They rolled up your sleeves, distressed some wood, and created farmhouse-classic masterpieces that they can be proud of for years to come.

Students in our Scholars Transition Program throughout Norwalk are being prepared for successful entry into their respective middle schools.

In response to student performance data, surveys, parent meetings, and years of after-school and summer programming, Carver provides hands-on, project-based, personalized learning experiences.

In addition to providing individual support in literacy, math, and science, Carver offers a wide array of enrichment opportunities not available during the school day.

Carver programming is organized around six core principles: high expectations with the final goal of transitioning to the next grade on time and prepared; academic rigor focused on project-based learning and individualized learning; building healthy relationships; Student Voice and taking responsibility; building community through defined structures of cooperative decision-making; and a youth development approach to instruction that recognizes individual strengths, needs, and learning styles.
