   The Russell Street School, serving grades three through five, is the second stage of the child's educational experience in Littleton, connecting the primary school years to their middle school years. As such, our primary focus is to promote the intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth of students through a developmentally appropriate academic program that motivates and inspires the child in the learning process. The school's standards establish high expectations of intellectual growth while maintaining sensitivity to the uniqueness of the individual and encouraging the natural creativity within each child.

   We offer a sequentially structured curriculum and educational practices which encourage our children to realize their highest potential for learning while enabling them to acquire a body of knowledge, including the application of reasoning, analytical, and technological skills. Our environment encourages students to develop an appreciation for cultural diversity and awareness of the interdependence of the global community. We strive to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance, and optimism wherein each child will develop positive self-esteem.

   The dedication of the staff is evident through the professional and personal commitment to the student's academic and emotional development. We recognize that only through high expectations for our own performance can we, in turn, establish high expectations for our students. Through the collaborative efforts of students, teachers, parents, administrators, and community, the Russell Street School is dedicated to helping prepare each student to meet his or her educational future with excitement and a love of learning.
