OUR APPROACH
How We Learn
Learning should feel meaningful—not mechanical.
That’s why we blend the structure of classical education with hands-on discovery. Students are given time and space to truly understand what they’re learning, with a focus on mastery, not just checking boxes.
Small class sizes, strong relationships, and personalized pacing ensure every child grows in both skill and confidence.
What Sets Us Apart
Small Class Sizes
Low student-to-teacher ratios allow for personalized attention and meaningful connection.
Mastery Over Busywork
We move with intention—ensuring students understand core concepts. Practice looks like repetition, discussion, and application, not worksheets for the sake of filling time.
Classical Core, Creative Delivery
Students study foundational subjects like reading, writing, math, and history with timeless tools—while also engaging in projects, storytelling, nature study, and the arts.
Whole-Child Focus
We honor each student’s emotional, social, and academic development. Learning is balanced with movement, play, imagination, and moments of rest.
What We Teach
Our curriculum blends classical foundations with hands-on, age-appropriate learning. While every year is tailored to our students, these core areas guide our classroom:
Language Arts
Phonics, narration, early writing, and great books
Math
Conceptual learning, real-life applications, and daily review
Science & Nature
Simple experiments, nature study, and curiosity-led themes
History & Geography
Story-based lessons, timelines, and cultural awareness
Enrichment
Art, music, movement, life skills, and daily read-alouds
