"Hands-on activities give learners real work to perform. In a hands-on activity, the learner completes a task outside the lesson, ... the real-life task provides feedback on their success and may test what they learned." - William Horton In addition to a strong academic program, Boxford Academy maintains a full complement of supplemental learning activities. Whether it's recess or enrichment day, chapel or an evening program, our activities are designed to add to, never detract from, each child's learning experience. In fact, as often as possible, the activities are designed to match up with and enhance the academic curriculum.
