Mission

Our mission is to teach students to be creative and critical thinkers with a strong moral compass.

With a developmentally appropriate, experiential and artistic approach to education, we enable the unfolding of each child’s unique capacities to meet the world with confidence and a sense of purpose.

Core Values

We believe in educating the whole child.

We believe in an education that leads to intellectual, emotional and spiritual development.  We honor childhood based on a developmentally appropriate curriculum.  We believe in educating students creatively out of an understanding of child development and knowledge of how children learn.

We believe that it takes a community to educate a child.

We believe that a school community, inclusive of students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni is essential for a healthy school.  They are in many ways co-creators of our education.  We value a diverse school community in which social interactions are guided by kindness and respect.

We believe in a governance based on professional autonomy and shared collective responsibility.

We believe in a collaborative approach to school governance that is based on transparency and open communication.

We have respect and reverence for the natural world and embrace our responsibility as stewards.

We value the natural world, the land that we have been blessed to be stewards of, and the many opportunities the land provides for our students to develop appreciation and gratitude.

We believe we have a social and moral responsibility to strive to make this world a better place.
