I want my child to develop a true love of learning.

I want my child to experience wonder and to be forever curious.

I am looking for a place where my child can become his or her best self.

A welcoming, inclusive environment that values all children is important to me.

I want to give my child a head start in life – I am looking for a focus on the development of the whole child – social, emotional and academic.

I want a school that has an unrelenting commitment to the development of each child because there is no such thing as an “average” student. I am looking for a school that personalizes the learning experience to ensure each child is provided with what they need to achieve excellence.

I am looking for a safe place where my child can learn to take risks. A place where, regardless of success or failure of those risks, what’s learned is the most important.

I want a school that is grounded and stable, but isn’t bogged down in process or bureaucracy – a school that is nimble enough to pivot to new opportunities and is committed to exploring new and promising practices in the areas of education, technology and health & wellness.

I want a school that is accessible and welcoming for parents, where there are no physical barriers to access the Head of School, where we can be part of an open community, and where school is an extension of family.

I am looking for a school that offers a small student to faculty ratio.

I like the idea of student-guided, hands-on learning.

I believe that creativity is very important in the 21st century and am looking for a school that helps my child realize his or her inherent creativity.

I want my child to learn how to master tasks and understand new concepts–to walk before they are asked to run. And if they are already off and running, a school that can keep up to their pace.

I am looking for a school that helps my child discover how to engage in meaningful partnerships and outreach work with our local community and beyond – to become community-minded; an engaged citizen.

I am looking for a school that values inclusion, and respect for self and others.
