Curious about The Sage School?

Join us for our Open House and see what a school designed around joy, wonder, curiosity, rigor, self-awareness and community looks like.

At Sage, we value active learning, curiosity, collaboration, happiness, meaningful work, playful productivity, connection to the natural world, and intellectual rigor.

Come see how we bring it all to life at our upcoming Open House.

We hope you’re jumping into the new year like…..

We’re looking back on 2025 with tremendous gratitude for our Sage community and all the learning, creativity, play, and growth that filled our year.

As we step into 2026, we’re energized to continue shaping a school experience that honors adolescents and cultivates a sense of wonder, curiosity and connection to this beautiful world we live in.

Last day to double your impact!

Today is the final day to have your contribution to The Sage School Annual Fund matched. Help us raise the final $10,000 and ensure that every gift made this holiday season has double the impact for students, teachers, and our mission to honor adolescence.

Sage is committed to offering a unique type of education and your support of the Annual Fund makes everything we do possible. Before we ring in the New Year, please join us in supporting programs like Field Studies, teacher wages, flexible tuition for our students, and our Quigley campus.

Happy New Year to all!

At Sage, students don’t just learn, they discover who they are and how they belong in their community.
Gusty Swift, the parent of three Sage students, describes it this way:
“My children truly know themselves deeply and are comfortable in their own skin. They are curious, engaged, and absolutely love going to school every day.”
The transformation Gusty sees in her children is intentional and woven into the Sage experience. It happens because our teachers are deeply committed to students, not only as learners, but as growing young people. And it happens through meaningful experiences, like Field Studies, that bring learning to life beyond the classroom.
Will you consider making a gift to the Annual Fund before December 31 to ensure every student continues to experience the transformational power of Sage?

Sage Student Highlight

James Frey, 7th grade

BUILDER & PROBLEM-SOLVER
James has had a standout trimester. He played a key role in constructing our large trebuchet for the harvest dinner, bringing steady focus and solid craftsmanship to the build. He also designed a scaled digital model of the Lighthouse of Alexandria using Shapr3D, showing real skill in translating ideas into clean, workable designs. He used this design to hand build his model. James has also been leading the 6th and 7th grade Community Action project to build a Little Library for the Hunger Coalition. His reliability and quiet leadership have helped keep the project moving forward. #
