Leading in their own way.
In every grade, we offer opportunities for students to gain confidence, test their limits, and define leadership on their own terms. Our students learn to advocate for themselves and others.
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.
Designed for adventurous students.
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.
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.
Flourishing within our 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.

Mission:
Empower children to lead with courage, compassion, and purpose.

Rob appreciates Foote’s emphasis on being well-rounded. “The ability to follow my interests allowed me to be empathetic and flexible,” he said. “And I would like to think it helped make me a good citizen. It made me ask how I can contribute to the world around me and lift others up and also be smart about what’s coming around the corner.”
