Silverton Paideia Academy is an elementary (PreK-6) magnet school in the Cincinnati Public School District, located in a quiet residential neighborhood in the City of Silverton. Our teachers and staff are highly qualified educators averaging more than 20 years experience in the classroom. As a magnet school featuring Paideia-based instruction and a supporting museum school concept, our students come from more than 30 different communities in the Cincinnati area, but we are well rooted in our home community of Silverton.
Silverton Paideia Academy is guided by the principles of the Paideia philosophy that:
ALL children can learn
ALL students need and deserve the same high quality education
ALL students must be challenged to perform to the best of their ability
ALL genuine knowledge is active rather than passive
What is a museum school?
A museum school can mean different things to different people, but at Silverton Paideia Academy it means that our students are engaged in the active creation of projects, artifacts and exhibits that utilize the skills and knowledge they gain through the existing Paideia program. In order to fully appreciate this creative process and to put knowledge into a meaningful context, students will make frequent visits to local museums and related institutions. More than just a fieldtrip, these visits will focus on selected objects or exhibits in order to stimulate or enhance the students’ traditional classroom learning. Through these visits, as well as pre-visit and post-visit activities directly related to the museum experience, students and teachers will utilize the museums as an extension of their classroom, not someplace to visit only on special occasions.
