Who We Are

MISSION 

Inspiring children to transform the world. 

VISION

Our vision is to create a place where children’s own interests and questions are taken seriously; our curriculum begins with children’s curiosity. We believe all of the knowledge, skills, and concepts that children need to succeed in the world arise naturally from the rigor of their work and from the guidance and support of their families and school community. Our school is a place where families and community members are invited to engage students and staff in meaningful ways that contribute to collaborative learning experiences.

OUR PILLARS

Image of Child & Relationships

We strive to create an inclusive place for every student and family. We want all community members from all backgrounds to feel honored, celebrated, and connected to the curriculum and classroom. We believe that learning does not occur independent of, but rather as a direct result of interactions with people, places, materials, and ideas.

Environment as Third Teacher

We view the environment as an extension of the learning that happens in our world and a place to work together. Our environments are designed to be engaging, organized, and focused on creativity and inquiry. In our classrooms, you find a kitchen table to work at with a group, pillows to curl up with a good book, and jars to hold our beautiful materials.

100 Languages of Children

As students construct knowledge together, they use a wide variety of tools to explore, discover, and show what they know. These 'languages' naturally allow for the creation of meaning in a variety of ways and that reflect multiple viewpoints.

Hands-on, material-rich experiences are integrated into our curriculum.

Design Process & Documentation

Our teachers believe it is important to work in collaboration with one another as we plan experiences for children. We think deeply about the purpose of our work, reflect on how we are doing, and continue to grow and learn by collecting evidence of student learning. We document the work we do with children to evaluate and create new experiences.

PROJECT WORK

Projects are long term in-depth studies that integrate the standards we teach alongside our four pillars of Reggio-inspired practice. We use our relationships with students and families to guide the direction of a project, we create experiences inside and outside of the classroom, we allow children to explore and share their thinking through a variety of materials, and we carefully design and document the teaching and learning that takes place.
