Our innovative, integrative elementary program is the product of seven years of study and reflects our commitment to whole child well-being and student-led inquiry. Due to our desire to provide highly personalized and meaningful experiences, we typically enroll no more than 15 children per class. In addition to a low student to teacher ratio, this creates a sense of fellowship uncommon in traditional schools. Classes combine hands-on learning and community experiences, guided by the Montessori philosophy. We tailor our curriculum to meet the needs of diverse families and 21st century children, especially those in our learning community.
