Montessori education is the core offering at this community school. Its approach nurtures students' compassion, curiosity, and sense of personal power, while its founding principles include educational equity and social justice. The school has served students and families since 1968. Arts education is part of the program, with a focus on building community and deepening awareness of the world. Children also connect with nature and learn to respect the earth through hands-on experiences.
