Opportunities for growth

 

It’s the experience of always becoming, always broadening your vision, always deepening your thinking.

Our approach to education transcends labels. Informed by research, inspired by experience, we do what works best for our students. With intention, with ingenuity, and with deep respect for child development, we invite students to ask hard questions, dig deeper, take smart risks, and think in new directions. 

As a K-9 school, we give lower school and middle school students the attention they deserve — and the resources they need to thrive. We’re also able to create 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.
