Head of school
Sarah Pelmas
Interim Head of School
Sarah Pelmas P’25 is serving as Interim Head of School through June 30, 2027, bringing more than 25 years of experience as a teacher, leader, and innovator in independent schools. As a former Beaver parent, she has seen firsthand how this community sparks creativity, independence, and curiosity in every student.
Curriculum & special classes
The school challenges students to explore, discover, and tackle real-world challenges with next-level tools and engaged teachers. It emphasizes 'learning by doing,' designing projects instead of memorizing answers, and prototyping instead of panicking.
Financial aid
About 25 percent of families receive need-based Financial Assistance each year, with decisions made by the Financial Assistance Committee based on the Clarity reporting system. Beaver does not award merit scholarships.
