Fostering Independence
We understand that fostering independence is crucial for developing confident, self-motivated learners. We all want to see the children of today grow up to be confident, driven, and caring leaders. To do that, children need skills in resiliency and self-reliance, along with the inner knowledge that, no matter what, they can figure things out. A child who knows that he or she can solve any problem they choose to solve is a powerful force. This is the force we want to ignite in the next generation!
By giving students choices in their education and providing them with a safe environment where they can learn from both successes and mistakes, our program develops not only academic acumen in students, but also a deep inner strength that they can call on now and for the rest of their lives.
Choice
Our microschool is not here to merely serve up a curriculum; we exist to present learners with choices that cater to who they are, what interests them, and how they would like to grow and develop. Our educational model begins from where each individual learner is and moves them forward, allowing them to make progress at their own pace.
By providing a safe, growth-focused environment with opportunities for students to make decisions about their own learning paths, we empower them to take ownership of their education, by instilling in them a sense of responsibility and self-direction that will serve them throughout their lives.
Cultivating a Desire for Discovery
The greatest gift we can give to a young person is to ignite a passion for knowledge and discovery that lasts a well beyond their time at school. We believe that authentic learning is best served by systems that promote discovery and curiosity over rote learning or memorization.
Education shouldn’t be a box that you check off once you graduate; we believe that the educational experiences you have when you are young will influence your desire to learn for the rest of your life. We are intentional about cultivating an educational environment that fosters curiosity and a genuine love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Our curriculum is designed to be dynamic and engaging, and encourages students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and pursue their unique interests with enthusiasm. By creating a learning environment that celebrates creativity and innovation, we help students develop a lifelong drive for discovery.
Our vision is to provide students with an education founded on autonomy, the pursuit of excellence, and a drive for knowledge that results in a deep love for learning. By cultivating each child’s creativity, individuality, and authentic voice, we will empower them to develop an intrinsic love of learning and a drive to impact the world for good.
