About Our School

Our classical liberal arts microschool emphasizes the study of great literature, history, philosophy, and science that have shaped human thought. Through careful reading, Socratic discussion, and written analysis, students develop both knowledge and the critical thinking essential for informed citizenship. This approach creates thoughtful, articulate learners prepared for advanced study and meaningful engagement with important ideas.


Educational Philosophy: Excellence is built on strong fundamentals. We ensure all students master core competencies in literacy and mathematics, then build sophisticated applications and connections on this foundation. Our scaffolded approach ensures students develop both strong basics and advanced capabilities.
