What Makes Us Unique

We protect imagination and creativity with open-ended play, the arts, and activities infused with beauty and quietude.​

We nurture belonging through gentle repetition, so that each student becomes confident and takes joy in learning.

We skillfully observe each student, meeting their growth with knowledge of holistic human development. Students feel safe to explore and make mistakes when lessons are age-appropriate and appropriately paced.

Subjects are fluidly combined, in congruence with healthy life practices and life skills.

Our lessons are meaningful and engage multiple senses. We balance intellectual stimulation, emotional awareness, and physical mastery.

Through fine art and folk crafts, students hone their innate drive to design, engineer, manifest and self-express. 

We encourage empathy through socio-emotional skills, interoception, and deep listening.

We model reverence for nature through immersion in nature, natural science, gardening, and seasonal celebrations.

Informed by a range of educational approaches, we draw on Waldorf, Progressive Education, Mindfulness Parenting, Positive child guidance, justice work, and our seasoned intuition.

We merge community and schooling, with opportunities for parents and families to participate. Connections are made through service to community and social justice.

Our school runs on equity, cooperation, and shared leadership-observable in daily interactions amongst teachers, staff and families.
