Menwith Hill School Information Center |
Located across from the main office, the "Info Center" provides an informational hub for the school complex. A print collection of 10,000 + books provides both research and curriculum support resources across all grade levels as well as a print-rich environment for recreational reading covering all lexile levels. Non-print resources such as the Internet and online databases are delivered through our school network. Menwith Hill School has subscriptions to databases that can be accessed by members of the school community on-site or via the Internet from a home computer. These are more authoritative, reliable and school appropriate than most non-subscription sites. Software and A/V materials extend the non-print collection.
Online resources, which can be accessed at school or at home, include a variety of databases.
