Community is an important value at the Peabody School. It is our goal to equip our students with the skills and tools they need to be kind, community and solution oriented, lifelong learners. The weekly newsletter, Peabody Pumas in the Know, is also an important communication point for our families.
Peabody is especially proud of its music programs. The school was the first in CPS to implement a Kodály music program, and they embrace the Kodály philosophy that,“Music is for everyone.” In addition to extra music classes during the week, students who especially love music are also welcome to join the before-school music group, The Early Bird Singers.
Peabody has been recognized by Boston Magazine on their list of the 100 best public elementary schools in Eastern Massachusetts. Learning continues beyond the school day through extracurricular opportunities such as BOKS - Build Our Kids Success, curriculum-linked learning clubs, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and the National Geographic club, with a nationwide Bee at the end of each year.
Peabody families are vital to the school community. The active Friends of Peabody organization sponsors enrichment events such as author visits, anti-bullying presentations, and educational trips.
Signature programs:
- Kodaly Music (Preschool-2 or Preschool-5)
