When recess turns into an impromptu Talent Show, you pull up a milk-crate stool. This was entirely thought up and performed by our creative K-2 students.

Myth: Fireweed is full. Fact: We have space available! Small class sizes, hands-on Project Based Learning, Socratic Seminars, time spent outdoors and our community....just some of the aspects that make us a uniquely fantastic choice for families.

Myth: Fireweed doesn't focus on academics. | Fact: Here is the data that shows spending time with real Project Based Learning, small class sizes, and getting out in the community and nature works! We have space in all classes, come see what your student could be experiencing each day.

Friday Fireweed Fact! Our class sizes stay small - we have a maximum of only 18 per class for K-2nd, and 20 for 3rd-6th grades! This won't change based on budget fluctuations from the state or borough, which leads to consistency, stability, and feeling connected with your teachers and the parents in your student's class
