Philosophy

Every child possesses a unique genius.

As whole-child educators, it is our charge to discover and nurture the innate giftings of each individual child.

Every child has a divine purpose.

As mentors and guides, it is our responsibility to help every student develop in their sense of identity and purpose and to help them forge a path towards fulfilling their calling.

It takes a village.

We were meant to do life together, and we know that true whole-child education is only achieved with fully engaged partnerships between parents and educators.

Our child-focused approach honors the strengths and needs of every child.

Our Methods

Small class size. We are committed to maintaining low student-teacher ratios so that every child is well known and has access to one-on-one instruction, when needed.

Research-based best practices. We avoid the swinging pendulum that influences the trends in mainstream and public education. We stick with research-backed method and proven best practices. We apply neuroscientific understanding of the developing brain to our teaching.

Charlotte Mason approach. We embrace Charlotte Mason’s belief that “what a child digs for is his own possession.” Children are meant to actively engage with their environment, follow interests, read, explore, and become astute observers and practiced communicators.

Whole-person development. We are as serious about developing excellence of character as we are about providing quality education, and we support our children and families in their spiritual journey in Christ.
Parent Partnerships. We understand parent partnerships to be vital to each child’s success, and prioritize them as such. We stand firm in our belief in the power of a unity as essential in raising up well-equipped, godly children. “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Eccl 4:12)

Our child-focused approach honors the strengths and needs of every child.
