Our Student Centered Micro School Vision

​

As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of education, many of us have been seeking alternative learning options. The vision for this community grew out of a combination of;  

- researched best practices and approaches from programs like

 The RI Compass School, Waldorf, Montessori, and Acton Academy,

- professional experiences working in and managing educational programs,

- current and past client struggles with traditional school environments,

- my own family's educational journey, and

- an established, skilled, wellness team, who are available to provide      comprehensive support services to school aged children and their families.

​​

• An engaging, dynamic, project-based learning curriculum, which meets the unique needs and interests of children​

• A safe, nurturing, multi-aged learning environment

• Social-emotional and mindfulness skills curriculum, reinforcing a growth mindset and a strength-based approach to all community members

• Opportunities for socialization and community building through collaborative projects and activities

• Critical thinking reinforcement, entrepreneurship, & self advocacy skills

• Family participation and community engagement through regular enrichment activities

• Outdoor exploration, nature inspired learning, and STEAM lessons

• Experienced, certified, educators who are passionate about guiding children as they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally

• Speech and occupational therapy

• Counseling services as needed

​

Our collaborative intends to welcome kind, dynamic, educators who are committed to inspiring young learners, and fostering a love of self, others, nature, and learning. Educators are valued and supported, and will receive regularly scheduled reflective supervision. 

​

Our community members are children who enjoy interactive learning experiences and hands-on activities.  They are students who are motivated to explore nature, express their creativity, and contribute to a positive community culture.
