North Stonington
Elementary School
Pre-K - Grade 6
At North Stonington Elementary School, every student is recognized as a special individual who is supported to become a successful learner and a happy, healthy young person.
We understand that students enter NSES with various abilities and interests and we work as a team with families to ensure that social and academic benchmarks are reached. Throughout elementary school students are engaged in building solid foundational skills in reading, writing, and math, as well as establishing positive social and emotional habits. As students need support, interventions are provided and monitored.
