K-8 Curriculum

Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Service Learning, and Fine Arts are all subjects that are taught at our school. Our curriculum is strongly focused on developing literacy and math skills. Although not strictly a project-based curriculum, our teachers frequently develop projects, or work with their students to develop projects, which allow for the practical use of academic skills.

Much of our learning is rooted in a sense of place, encouraging students to honor and serve their local community as they learn. Students are often out of the classroom, on research trips or involved in projects that require them to use academic skills in hands-on settings. In our striving for excellence, we believe that talent can be developed, success begets success, quality requires feedback, the best decisions result in win/win decisions, less is more, and commitment to excellence requires time.
