About Our School

We celebrate the intersection of creativity and technical thinking in our maker-centered microschool. Students engage in projects that combine art, design, and engineering, learning to prototype ideas and solve problems creatively. Our diverse learning spaces support both collaborative group projects and individual exploration. Through meaningful making experiences, students develop technical competence, creative confidence, and the persistence to tackle complex challenges.


Educational Philosophy: We examine our practices regularly to ensure we're not perpetuating biases or barriers. Continuous self-examination and willingness to change are essential to our equity commitment. We seek feedback, admit mistakes, and adjust practices to better serve all students.
