Our school is set apart as a non-traditional learning environment where students and families have the freedom to set the schedules and curriculum that works best for their child’s success. Students can attend either 3 days or 5 days per week, are allowed frequent play/rest breaks and leisure time activities, little reliance on computer-based learning or assessments, no homework or standardized testing, portfolios instead of letter grades, outdoor classrooms, project-based learning, and multi-age classrooms.
Our learning model is multi-age level; students are grouped based on stage of development rather than age and/or grade. Currently, we are structured to accept students from ages 4yo to 13yo (K-8 approximately), however, we plan to include programming for high school aged students (ages 14yo-18/19yo) in the near future.
Tuition for the year is based on a 3-day or 5-day schedule. Students may attend two days of scheduled classes with one day reserved for their enrichment courses (ARTS, STEM, Foreign Languages, Sports and Leisure activities, etc.), or may attend all 5 days (with 2 days reserved for supervisory study, “extra” learning, apprenticing and/or tutoring, etc.). Contact our Admissions Team for more information!
Tuition covers the fees associated with teacher salaries and facility maintenance costs to provide students with enriching academic and cultural experiences, missions work and service-learning opportunities, community-wide activities, along with annual school-wide events, ceremonies and celebrations. Curriculum materials and uniforms are the responsibility of each family. Discounts are available for families with multiple children enrolled as well as those willing to volunteer their time, talents, and resources on a regular basis.
