Children and a teacher learning together

Founding families

Everything great begins with a small group who believe in a shared vision.

As a founding family, you won’t simply be enrolling your child. You’ll be helping establish a learning community.

This community is built on individualized education, meaningful relationships, and a lifelong love of learning. Throughout our founding year, we will actively seek parent feedback as we refine long-term educational priorities, enrichment, community traditions, and family experiences.

Families will help shape

Nature-based learning

Outdoor education and opportunities to learn in and from the natural world.

Service & community

Community service projects and service-learning experiences.

Enrichment

Guest speakers, enrichment classes, electives, clubs, and special interest groups.

Family learning

Family learning sessions and parent workshops.

Traditions

Seasonal traditions and community celebrations that become the culture of the school.

Communication

The culture of communication between school and home.

Every tradition begins with a first family.

Every community begins with someone willing to believe in its future. Together we can build something that is truly different.

Enrollment for our Founding Family Cohort is limited. Registration for 2026–2027 closes August 14, 2026.

What we hope is that they never forget how learning made them feel.

That they were known. That they were capable. That their questions mattered. That someone believed in them. That they were excited to come to school. That they developed the confidence to try hard things.

When we accomplish those things, we have created something far greater than simply teaching a curriculum.
