where a world of discovery and innovation intertwines with the joys of learning during the most formative years of your child’s life. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that children learn best through experience, engaging with the world around them in a hands-on and playful manner. We embrace an educational model that nurtures the whole child, catering to their educational, social, and emotional needs.
Personalized learning
Every student is unique. We believe their education should be as well. We are committed to embracing rigor in all academics, and we aim to exceed grade-level expectations by using personalized learning plans.
Diversity
Our students and staff are excited to meet and work with peers of all backgrounds. We study and celebrate differences, and embrace the vital importance of respect, tolerance, and acceptance of all. We want our campus to be a place where everyone can feel heard, included, and safe.
Literacy
Literacy is recognized as central to academic pursuit and success in life. We focus not just on teaching literacy, but also on why literacy matters, and what it can do for each student in their lives. Our students don’t just learn to read, they read to learn.
