About Our School

Our classical microschool emphasizes the enduring wisdom of liberal arts education, cultivating critical thinking through engagement with great literature, history, philosophy, and science. We believe students thrive when challenged to think deeply about meaningful ideas and develop articulate expression of their understanding. Through Socratic discussion and careful reading of primary texts, students develop the reasoning and communication skills essential for leadership and meaningful contribution to democratic society.


Educational Philosophy: We model growth mindset, showing students that adults also learn and grow from challenges.
