Our Fundamental Tenets

Respect

We hold a foundational respect for a child’s humanity and, therefore, their individuality.

Freedom

In terms of both physical and intellectual movement, freedom of exploration is essential.

Balance

The curriculum balances and integrates the arts, humanities and sciences.

Practical

We emphasize practical work with concrete materials and manual tools. We learn with our head, hands and feet.

Nature

The intensity of indoors studies are tempered by outdoors study and the practice of wilderness skills. In other words, nature is also our classroom.
 

Learning takes place on three levels, each carrying equal importance:

1)

Four key ways to knowledge (Will I learn to read, write, listen and speak better?)

2)

Mastery of content and skills (Will I learn the facts and skills that I need to be successful at the next level?)

3)

Patterns of thought (Will I become a creative and critical thinker who can make connections across traditional boundaries?)
 

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is as significant as cognitive aptitude. We learn with our head, hands, and feet as well as our heart.
 

Community

The classroom is a community, an organism that is directed and cared for by both students and adults.

Nature

The intensity of indoors studies are tempered by outdoors study and the practice of wilderness skills. In other words, nature is also our classroom.
