Falk Laboratory School

Fanny Edel Falk Laboratory School has provided a progressive K–8 learning environment since 1931. The school’s nurturing atmosphere, dedicated faculty and staff, and innovative curriculum encourage the development of children who are both prepared and motivated to succeed in their future endeavors.

Grounded in progressive educational principles, Falk has long favored a child-centered approach to learning that focuses on each student’s social, emotional, and academic needs. The curriculum emphasizes collaboration, intrinsic motivation, and hands-on education.

Learning and exploration happen all throughout the school—on the Falk Woods hillside, in our state-of-the-art maker space, and in the yoga studio, gymnasium, and classrooms. Learning even happens in the hallways, where students gather to work on collaborative projects, and on the playground, where authentic friendships bloom.

Falk teachers are committed to lifelong learning and instill curiosity and wonder in the students they teach. They are responsive to each child’s needs and strengths, attuned to both academic and social-emotional development.

Faculty hold advanced degrees and shape future educators by mentoring student teachers. They are active members of the educational community as published authors, accomplished researchers, and award-winning teachers, and they investigate meaningful research questions and publish their findings to improve education for all.

Giving to Falk supports our students, now and into the future, and our teachers, whose work impacts children and future educators.
