At this time, we do not offer 1 day a week enrollment due to developing a collaborative and collective community. The Learning Center is designed for students to work together multiple days a week.

We meet outdoors for 28 weeks from the 2nd week in September through May. There are scheduled breaks throughout year.  See the Yearly School Calendar for details.

Although our family follows Christian values, the Learning Center follows a secular curriculum.  Students of all religions, or none, are equally welcome.

Progessive learning teaches students to think by doing or often called experiential learning.  Experiential learning allows students to actively engage in activities and hands-on projects.  It also encourages students to question why and how, reflect on their learning, and engage in collaboration with peers and educators.  This builds curiosity, problem-solving and communicaiton skills all which will be a benefit in the workplace.    

The Educators and Guides are highly skilled and trained in their Area of Interest.  They may or may not have a teaching license. Some of the best Educators are those most passionate about their Area of Interest.
