About Our School

Our arts-centered microschool provides intensive, rigorous arts instruction alongside strong academics. Students study visual arts, music, drama, or dance in depth, developing both technical skill and artistic voice while maintaining high academic standards. This intensive approach creates passionate learners who bring creative thinking to all areas of life.


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.
