The Pike School seeks to develop within its community a life-long love of learning, respect for other, the joy of physical activity and a creative spirit. A Pike education is a journey that prepares students to be independent learners and responsible citizens. We believe the potential within each of us deserves to be recognized and nurtured. We believe children develop best when there is an active and willing partnership between school and family. We believe that an enriching, challenging and supportive environment is necessary for personal development, and by recognizing, respecting, sharing and appreciating our similarities and differences, we grow and flourish.
