hands-on learning
We believe that every child is born with an innate love of learning. Our goal is to foster that love and allow every child to reach their full potential.
NOW ENROLLING AGES 3 TO 8th GRADE
Planting Seeds of Excellence.
Warm and inviting classrooms where children are treated with respect and multi-age grouping creates a community of happy students who mentor, inspire and learn from one another. Low child-to-teacher ratios ensure each child is guided through the curriculum, receives many individual and small group lessons each day and ultimately achieves his or her academic potential.
An emphasis is placed on community service and helping others. Active instruction in peacemaking, conflict resolution strategies and respect for others promotes sociability. Outdoor classrooms and gardens, field trips and guest speakers enhance the extensive curriculum. Children are given ample time in the outdoor environment by spending time in the garden and in other natural settings.
Our location affords us access to hiking trails around the UCC campus.
ENRICHMENT
Elementary students have P.E. classes twice a week. The UCC track, fields and hiking trails are incorporated into many of our PE classes.
Our classes enjoy art, music, and drama as a part of their specials rotations as well as embedded into classroom lessons.
Science, technology, engineering, art and math play a major role in student learning. It is interwoven in our Cultural curriculum and also used in our tinkering workshops.
We believe in cultivating a strong sense of community, where all members of the family feel welcome to get involved.
