A diverse K-8 community committed to social justice and the inherent worth of every person
A place for strong learning, exceptional teaching, and a caring community
We believe that students learn best when actively engaged in an experientially rich, hands-on program of study. They’re challenged to develop critical thinking skills and to reach ambitious academic goals while developing self-respect and respect for others. Curiosity and creativity are valued; teachers function as guides and partners.
