About Our School

Our humanistic microschool emphasizes helping students develop as whole people—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and creatively. We believe education should help students discover their unique gifts and learn to contribute meaningfully. Through supportive community, meaningful work, and individualized attention, we help students develop both competence and purpose.


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.
