A Self-Directed Learning Community

“Education is the sum of everything a person learns that enables that person to live a satisfying and meaningful life.”

— Alliance for Self-Directed Education

Is School Really Working for Your Child?

The future is in the hands of the creative community builders, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. The skills to identify an opportunity, organize a team, plan the work, execute to fulfillment, and build your reputation from these successes do not come from obeying “Sit down, be quiet, and do what I say.”

Children need a setting to develop their fluency in digital media, their social, cultural and emotional intelligence, motivation, self-knowledge, and their sense of purpose. They need facilitation sharing their learning and the inspiration of a collaborative community.

School shouldn’t be a punishment – childhood isn’t a crime. A school’s job should be to adapt to your child’s learning needs. It’s time to try a place that nourishes children’s hungry minds and heals their energetic spirits.

What Makes Us Different

Play

“Play is the work of child”. - Maria Montessori

What happened to play? Traditional schools are forgoing play to teach to standardized tests. Our day is based on child-led free play.

Projects

Children and adults learn best when they are deeply curious about and involved in an experience. Learning in our space happens when a person is supported through a project or topic of their choosing.

Passions

You can trust your child will not lose their passion for living a curious life. We allow children to pursue what they are curious about, naturally leading to passionate work.

Peers

Children work in mixed-age peer groups. Allowing them to learn with and from one another. They spend their entire day engaging with peers, not worksheets.
