About Our School

Our program applies Montessori principles in a flexible microschool format, respecting each child's natural development while providing rich academic opportunities. Students engage with carefully designed materials that allow self-directed exploration of mathematics, language, science, and culture. Through uninterrupted work periods and mixed-age collaboration, children develop concentration, independence, and intrinsic motivation. We're building lifelong learners who approach challenges with confidence and creativity.

Educational Philosophy: We believe all students can learn at high levels when provided with excellent instruction, appropriate challenge, and necessary support. Our commitment to this belief drives all decisions in our school. We do whatever it takes to help every student succeed.

Meet Your Teacher

Kathleen J.

After years in traditional classrooms, I discovered my true calling in microschool education where I can really get to know each student and their family. I believe in creating a joyful learning environment where mistakes are celebrated as learning opportunities and curiosity is encouraged. I love integrating arts, movement, and nature into my teaching. When I'm not at school, I enjoy painting, yoga, and exploring local trails with my dog.
