Longfellow students learn to understand and appreciate the diversity and richness of cultures through the investigation of ideas, stories, and themes of a wide variety of peoples and times. Longfellow teachers use a humanities content framework that incorporates world cultures and the American experience. Specialists in Spanish, art, music, and science support the classroom teachers with additional focus in their core areas. We follow the best practices of Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop and Everyday Math because reading, writing and math excellence is core to our students' success.
