Fully engaged, truly seen.
Ours is a community where childhood has integrity, where joy and wonder are prized, where students have the space and the support to grow into their most authentic selves.
Rigor & recess
Ours is a rigorous and invigorating curriculum. We also know that movement and breaks are essential for deeper learning and socialization. Learn more about how we expertly balance both.
Plan, build, experiment, explore.
There’s a lot of learning by doing: experimenting, collaborating, revising. Students are always digging deeper, asking hard questions, looking for new challenges.
Designed for adventurous students.
Our approach to education transcends labels. We invite students to ask hard questions, dig deeper, take smart risks, and think in new directions.
Flourishing in community.
The power of our school is the presence of our people: how we find joy and wonder in the process of engaging with one another, how we honor our differences and celebrate our shared values.
Learning from our place.
On our park-like campus, in our neighborhood and our city, in communities near and far, we learn from the landscape, the natural history of a place, the people who have inhabited it, the layers of culture within it.
Inspiring Leaders
Our future is one that leads with compassion and courage, embraces diversity and discovery, and encourages students to be their authentic selves.
Mission:
Empower children to lead with courage, compassion, and purpose.
A Balanced Approach
How — and why — we balance rigor and play, structure and freedom, expectation and joy.
Vision:
Inspire the next generation to change the world.
Values:
Ideas we live by: discovery, authenticity, and community.

Ninth Grade Class President
This year has been a whirlwind of emotions, but at the end of the day I'm glad to be here. I have some words of advice to the next generation of ninth-graders, but this really applies to everyone who stays here as well.
