A child's mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled. ~Plutarch
Limited fall enrollment now available.  Hurry...many classes have already filled!

Children learn best in small school environments where everyone knows one another.  1-8 teacher-student ratios insure individualized instruction. Each child progresses at his or her own rate and can move ahead regardless of age or grade.  Learning to learn and attention to the whole child are prioritized.  In addition to an outstanding academic program, students participate in field study, music, drama, art, cultural studies, electives, STEM, workshops, animal care, cooking, team and leadership development, communication skills, and much more. Learning by doing is the truest way to mastery of material. Come see our school filled with inquisitive, kind, intelligent, and enthusiastic learners!

Humanity can hope for a solution to its problems, the most urgent of which are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child.
