We are still accepting applications for our Infant and Children’s House programs, including Kindergarten, for the 2026–2027 school year!

If you're looking for a nurturing, hands-on, screen-free learning environment where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and develop independence, we'd love to connect with you.

One week from today!

We can see it… the last day of school is almost here! We’re soaking up every moment and making the very best of our final days together.

Our annual all-school field trip is coming up on Friday, May 29th. Be sure to fill out your child’s permission form on ParentSquare and join us for a day of friends and fun!

Children’s House students were in for a treat when a big dump truck came to deliver fresh wood chips for our playground. We kept a safe distance and watched the pile get bigger and bigger!

Big thanks to everyone who spent last Saturday spreading these wood chips across the playground and filling our sand boxes with fresh sand!

We are accepting applications for our Children’s House program! Apply today and find out why our screen-free, hands-on curriculum is so special.

Thanks to our Children’s House Assistant, Celia, our whole school enjoyed a special performance by her Morris dance troupe to celebrate the start of May. Morris dancing is a traditional English folk dance featuring rhythmic stepping and the use of props such as sticks or handkerchiefs. It was such a fun and festive way to welcome the long awaited spring season!

This week we are celebrating our amazing guides and teachers! Every day, they go beyond teaching - they inspire, nurture, and empower. Their commitment to fostering a supportive and enriching space does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for the passion and care they bring to each classroom.

Happy Teacher Appreciation week to all teachers everywhere!

Have a wonderful April Break!

We are looking forward to an exciting Discovery week for those registered!
