School Notes:

We believe that:
Children learn by doing.
Helping children learn to think is as important as teaching any specific subject matter.
Learning occurs in ways unique to each child.
Children's curiosity and initiative are integral to their education.
Independence is a vital part of every child's development.
Working with others enhances children's growth in every domain.
Every person is a thinker, creator, and contributor.
The natural world is a place to learn.
Childhood should be fun, and children should find joy in learning.
