This is where students learn beyond the test, beyond the classroom, and toward the future—preparing them for each step of their journey, from lower to middle to high school, and wherever they go next.

We nurture strong minds, bodies, and relationships by building habits that support well-being, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
We recognize our responsibility to others by seeking understanding, taking meaningful action, and caring for people and the planet.
We develop the skills to think critically, speak up with confidence, and create purposeful change in our communities.
We create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported as their full selves.
We resolve conflict with empathy, patience, and creativity, strengthening our community through thoughtful collaboration.

Young children are welcomed into a joyful, nurturing environment designed to spark wonder and ignite lifelong curiosity.
Young children are naturally curious about the world around them. We build on that curiosity through playful exploration, hands-on projects, and experimentation.
In Lower School, curiosity deepens into inquiry as students begin to ask not just what, but to investigate why. They grow as artists, coders, and linguists, and develop their minds and bodies through exploring the city and community in ways that make their learning come alive.
Middle school is a time when students begin to discover who they are and how they want to engage with the world. Our program nurtures both the individual and the intellect—building confidence, character, and connection.
