Radcliffe Creek School is a co-ed independent school for non-traditional learners. With small class sizes and customized learning plans in a caring, connected environment, every child who attends Radcliffe thrives. Students identified with learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, and anxiety blossom in our school. Radcliffe Creek School is located in Chestertown, MD and serves students from the Talbot, Kent, Queen Annes, Anne Arundel, Prince George, and Caroline Counties in Maryland, as well as areas of Delaware. Radcliffe is committed to teaching using a strength-based approach.
Mission: Radcliffe Creek School’s mission is to empower children in a dynamic environment that celebrates unique learning. The School creates an environment where learning goes hand-in-hand with academic success and better self-awareness. Radcliffe Creek School believes that as each student develops a positive belief about oneself, he or she is able to engage in the learning process and therefore become an independent learner.
At the heart of our mission is finding ways to empower every student. At Radcliffe Creek School, our small class sizes and student-teacher connections allow for each student to have an individualized program that allows them to flourish. Students can take classes based on their skills and development versus their age. For example, some students participated in a pre-algebra class in the fifth grade while others may need explicit Orton Gillingham reading instruction as eighth-graders. We also work to nurture the whole child, looking to help our children grow to be good friends and citizens of the world. Radcliffe Creek School celebrates the passions and talents of each student by offering enrichment classes and activities to cultivate our students exceptional talents. Joy, use of creativity and imagination, and a connection to nature are also central to the heart of Radcliffe Creek School. Students who graduate from Radcliffe are often lauded for their study skills, self advocacy and leadership skills.
The Radcliffe Reach program provides a mechanism to extend the best of Radcliffe to the greater community. Consultative services, tutoring services, our homeschool umbrella, the opportunity to participate in gifted and talented programs through our after school program, and our robust summer program “Legends of the Chesapeake” are some of the ways in which we offer supplemental services to children who do not attend Radcliffe Creek School.
Leadership: At the beginning of the 2018 school year, Meg Bamford became the Head of Radcliffe Creek School. Meg continues to build on the founding value of empowering every student. Bamford deeply believes that, “with a customized, strength-based approach, the trajectory of the life of each student changes. Radcliffe Creek School opens doors for children that may have otherwise been shut. By investing in a child’s elementary and middle school education, children who would normally struggle in traditional classrooms are able to successfully transition to high school with confidence and skill.”
