About Us

Every child is one of a kind. Interests, learning styles, stages of developing knowledge and skills, personalities and challenges are unique to every individual. Our students learn at the pace and challenge that's right for them without sacrificing today's curriculum standards. Each student's path to progress looks different - that's the point.

True to the longstanding Reggio Emilia approach, we align students' learning with the real world whenever possible, allowing students to explore concepts with complexity and open-endedness. We engage the mind, body and heart, with hands-on, sensorial experiences that allow knowledge to be constructed creatively.

Children, like adults, desire for work to be fulfilling. We are passionate about creating firsthand experiences for students to connect what they are learning to the real world. Making learning come to life through meaningful, real world connections fosters intrinsic motivation, self-esteem and care for community.

As students dive into interest-driven work, we support their growth mindset and work ethic by intentionally increasing their agency over project planning, time management, collaboration within their learning group and choosing materials needed to demonstrate their learning. It becomes increasingly familiar to take risks and learn by doing.

Collaboration, communication and problem solving are crucial for success. Our learning groups provide real, daily practice in each class, between classes and school-wide. Our Director of Social Language and Communication responds to currently developing skills within each class to provide targeted lessons that students can integrate immediately.

Our educators' primary role is that of teacher-researcher. We hold open minds and collaborate with each other to nurture each student's process of growth, determining the right pace and challenge for them across the subjects. We look for opportunities for every student to shine. Our learning support team is here for teachers and parents, too.
