School Notes:

  • Some excellent reasons to choose Desiderata School as the support structure for your student's education: Desiderata's 'B or better' policy insures that students achieve a high level of proficiency in each subject area before moving on. Class size is limited to 8 students, allowing some amount of important socialization, but limiting the level of unnecessary distraction. The quiet country location on 8 forested acres allows students a chance to be active away from the annoyance and possible dangers of city streets. Over 400 different course descriptions ensure that your student has the best possible match between personality/learning style and curriculum.
