About Our School

Our arts-integrated microschool recognizes that artistic thinking and creative expression enhance learning across all subjects. We weave visual arts, music, drama, and movement throughout our curriculum, using these as tools for understanding concepts in mathematics, science, history, and literature. Through creative projects and performances, students develop both artistic skills and academic understanding. This approach builds confident, expressive learners who see themselves as creators and thinkers.


Educational Philosophy: We build resilience by providing appropriate challenge combined with support and encouragement.

Teaching is more than a career for me - it's a calling. I'm dedicated to creating learning experiences that are engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each student's needs. With a background in both traditional and alternative education, I bring a diverse toolkit to the classroom. I love fostering curiosity and helping students discover their passions. Outside of school, I enjoy gardening, playing music, and spending time with my family.
