About Our School

Our microschool creates a culture where emotions are acknowledged, discussed, and managed skillfully. Through social-emotional curriculum, community practices, and caring relationships, students develop the emotional intelligence essential for success. Students graduate with strong academics and strong emotional foundations.


Educational Philosophy: Diversity enriches our community and strengthens everyone's learning. We actively build inclusive practices that welcome and support students from all backgrounds while celebrating our differences. We believe students learn better together when their school community reflects the diversity of the broader world.
