Thank you for continuing to teach your children their purpose …. I come to The Hamptons School to Learn.

Family Fridays

On Friday mornings, all students are participating in Family Groupings for a special one-hour learning experience.

The students have been organized into nine groups, consisting of kindergarten to grade 5 students. It truly is The Hamptons School Family Groupings. Within the families, the students have the opportunity to build new relationships and develop a whole school feeling and culture.
