About Our School

Our microschool provides the structure and guidance that allow students to pursue meaningful inquiries while building essential skills and knowledge. Our child-centered approach develops intrinsically motivated learners who love learning and see themselves as capable thinkers.


Educational Philosophy: We trust students' capacity to construct knowledge through exploration and experience.

Jackie B.

I'm passionate about progressive education and believe strongly in the power of student-centered learning. My teaching approach emphasizes inquiry, collaboration, and authentic assessment. I love watching students light up when they make connections and take ownership of their learning. I have experience with project-based learning, Socratic seminars, and differentiated instruction. In my free time, I'm an avid reader, amateur photographer, and volunteer at the local library.
