Mission Statement:
All students should have an active role in their education. We will provide students with a rigorous curriculum that infuses art and technology, high expectations and project based learning in a small school setting.
Program Description:
Every student will be personally known. Students will join a small multi-aged, multi-ability learning community and rotate through exciting curricular options (departments) including, but not limited to, publications, audio-visual productions, music, performing arts, cultural arts, and integrated sciences. Students will learn goal setting, project presentations, and self-direction. At grade 3 students take an increased ownership in their education with Personal Learning Plans. Starting in grades 6-8, students will become familiar with content standards and align and create innovative projects. They will present numerous projects throughout the year. Further, each student will participate in art media, music, P.E., foreign language
School Highlights:
  • Safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for all students that focuses on multiculturalism and equity with curriculum that integrates arts and technology throughout departments, presentations & personal learning plans
  • Students will divide into small learning communities with multiple opportunities for every student to present to their respective learning community (students, staff, family, guests) what they have accomplished
  • Language Arts and Math specialized instruction in skill based grouping and multiage/multi-ability groupings that address state standards. A math scope and sequence that has all students in Algebra or higher by 8th grade
