Mission-Driven Education, Guaranteed Access
You shouldn't have to compromise on your educational values just to secure a spot for your child.
The Same Values You're Seeking
Small Class Community
With a 6:1 student-teacher ratio, every child is truly known. Teachers develop deep relationships and can differentiate instruction to meet each learner's needs.
Social Justice & Compassion
We develop responsible, socially conscious citizens who understand their role in creating a more equitable world—from PreK through graduation.
Hands-On Learning
Project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum makes learning joyful and meaningful. Students don't just memorize—they explore, question, and create.
