Hi families! We are getting so excited about our biggest fundraiser event of the year! Put on something funky or something formal or just come as you’d like…the Funky Formal is just ONE MONTH away! The money raised will help…
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.
