Whether our scholars come from across the world or across the street, they all learn and grow at Sibley.

Sibley Elementary serves scholars in grades Pre-K through fifth. As a cultural center and neighborhood school, we believe in creating a learning environment that embraces the language, skills, and culture of each of our scholars. Our teaching practices help all scholars, whether English is their first language or not, develop strong academic and social skills. Some of the skills we emphasize in our classrooms include reading, writing, speaking, listening, mathematics, scientific and historical inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and collaboration. We also offer additional supports for our scholars who are learning academic English.

Sibley scholars have so much to look forward to during their time with us. Some of our favorite activities, events, and partnerships are as follows:

  • fall kickoff 
  • spring resource fair
  • annual spirit weeks
  • mobile food pantries
  • family nights
  • community cleanups and other volunteer events
  • book fairs and reading events
  • Parent Teacher Community Council
  • Kent School Services Network (KSSN
  • partnership events with Stocking Elementary and Westwood Middle School
  • community mentoring
  • peer tutoring
