Hendricks Day School
Hendricks Day School was an American private school in Jacksonville, Florida that permanently shutdown in June 2015.[1] The school served students from PK3-8th grade. The school was founded in 1970 and was the only non-high school in the city to hold four major school accreditations, including those from the Southern Associations of Independent Schools, the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Florida Kindergarten Council and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 2014, the school became the first private school in Jacksonville to have a full STEAM lab on campus.[2][not in citation given]
Academics[edit]
Instruction at Hendricks was centered on the Habits of The Mind,[3] as developed by Dr. Arthur Costa. Children were taught to apply these habits to every problem they encounter inside and outside the classroom.
In 2014, the school opened a STEAM lab to encourage children to learn more about science and the art. Through a partnership with Duval County Public Schools, the students of Hogan-Spring Glen Elementary School were also able to use the lab for science classes.[4]
