Our microschool is a modern version of the one-room schoolhouse. Our classes are mixed ages and divided into small groups for an intimate classroom setting. We actively schedule both indoor and outdoor learning, as well as opportunities for students to collaborate and to solve problems, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics) is a big part of every day, with projects that allow students to think outside the box, create and problem solve. We focus on experiential learning in a relationship-driven environment. Lessons are based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through exploration, discovery and play.
The STM PreK program is Reggio Emilia inspired. This is a constructivist, student centered approach that values creativity, student interests, and open-ended play.
