About Our School

We embrace Waldorf principles in our intimate microschool setting, creating a learning environment that honors childhood and supports development of whole human beings. Through storytelling, artistic creation, and meaningful work, students engage deeply with content while developing imagination and critical thinking. Our multi-age communities foster mentorship and social responsibility. Students graduate with strong academics, creative abilities, and the moral foundations to make positive contributions in the world.


Educational Philosophy: We believe that children are naturally curious and capable learners. Our role is to create an environment that nurtures this innate love of learning while providing the structure and support students need to thrive. We honor each child's unique path and pace, celebrating progress over perfection. Collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking are at the heart of everything we do. We prepare students not just for academic success, but for meaningful, fulfilling lives.

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.
