Private, non-sectarian K-8 school
Where mindful growth fuels a lifetime of curiosity.
Small classes, rich content, and a genuine focus on developing each child's individual gifts.
Teach children how to learn.
Our mission goes beyond reading, writing, and mathematics. We help children discover their unique potential and gain the confidence to share it with the world.
Read our mission
Built for the child in front of us.
Reading, writing, and mathematics are taught at individualized levels. Progressive educators develop science and social studies in-house: social studies begins with firsthand accounts and primary-source documents, while science is led through laboratory work and hands-on investigation.
- Individualized academic foundations
- School-developed science and social studies
- Original sources, labs, and investigation
Each child is known as an individual.
Small classes let teachers be nimble and responsive. Students build the inner tools that support serious learning and responsible citizenship.
ResilienceSetbacks become opportunities to learn.
Deep focusStudents stay with difficult problems.
Ethical clarityThey ask both “can I?” and “should I?”
Emotional intelligenceKindness, humility, and listening matter.
A whole-child school since 1985.
Eric and Evangelina Jacobson began with five students and a belief that education should nurture the physical, mental, and spiritual self. The school has grown while working to preserve its close-knit atmosphere.
