Overview

Sweet Briar College maintains a campus school for two purposes: to provide a laboratory setting for college students to augment their studies in early childhood education and child development and to provide quality, developmentally appropriate early education for 4- and 5-year-old children from the Sweet Briar and local communities.

Each semester, children in the Sweet Briar Campus School work with approximately 18 to 20 Sweet Briar students enrolled in education and child development courses. The students are supervised and mentored by college faculty and campus school teachers. It is a special learning environment for all involved.

The school offers the following:

• Preschool (8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.) for 4-year-olds
• Kindergarten (8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.) for 5-year-olds
• After School Care Program (1 - 5:30 p.m.) for 4- and 5-year-olds from morning classes
