Student Life — Overview

From the beginning, teaching at Swain has meant nurturing, encouraging and guiding each child to do his or her best.

Our Faculty Makes the Difference

Swain has a dedicated and excellent faculty who are drawn to our close-knit family atmosphere, our philosophy of individual instruction and our belief in our mission of teaching traditional values and building good character - even as the world changes before our eyes.

We are a "hands on" school, and nowhere is this made more clear than in observing our faculty as they interact with the children they lead. Swain teachers don't merely stand at the head of the class and talk; they dare, they interact, they participate in learning at every level. Mutual respect between student and teacher abounds. There's a lot of love in our classrooms.
