Joyful Learning in Every Classroom Every Day

  • Co-teaching teams fuel collaborative creativity, allowing students to harness the power of teamwork and innovation

  • Mixed-age classrooms give children the opportunity to aspire and lead over the years

  • Small, skill-based groups ensure that every child masters foundational skills such as math, reading, and writing at their right pace

  • An hour outdoors each day on the Great Lawn, in the Wild Playspace, or on the Four Square patio energizes students

  • Our specialized programs encompassing hands-on tinkering, nature & gardening, digital arts, intergenerational learning and art serve as catalysts for broadening students' perspectives and deepening their connection to the world and their community
