Who We Are
An educational community reaches its full potential when all learners are treated with care and respect and when all members have an authentic voice in the community.
Time in nature is essential for the human spirit and for a profound understanding of our interconnected world.
We believe in childhood, a brief and precious time of wonder and growth, during which we form lasting beliefs about ourselves and the world.
