Successful campus cleanup day at the Lower School, with families, students, faculty, and friends all pitching in before the start of the new school year.

We planted in the garden, painted, sanded, cleaned up the grounds, and gave the campus a little extra love. It was such a nice way to come together as a community and get everything ready to welcome the students back.

At Living Wisdom School, every graduating student receives a Quality Award, a reflection of a special strength or quality they demonstrated throughout the year.

Teachers thoughtfully select each quality, and students share what it means to them in their own words. These reflections are always one of the most meaningful parts of graduation.

How Living Wisdom School does math

Inside the math classroom at Living Wisdom School in Palo Alto, where students work at their own pace, two teachers are in the room, and kids end up loving a subject most schools make them dread.

A few days at Pinnacles can do a lot for a middle school group.

These trips give students a chance to step outside their usual routines, take on more responsibility, and discover they’re capable of more than they thought. Somewhere between setting up camp, cooking together, hiking, laughing around the fire, and even cleaning out the van afterward, something shifts. The group becomes more connected, more cooperative, and more aware of how their energy affects one another.

And yes, they also had a lot of fun. Which is usually how the best kind of growth happens.

Before we get to math, we start with the kids themselves.
Our 4th & 5th graders begin the day by moving their bodies, getting the wiggles out, and settling their energy. By the time they sit down in the classroom, they’re calmer, clearer, and ready to learn.

It’s a simple rhythm, but it makes a real difference.

Theater Magic is more than a performance—it’s a core part of our curriculum. For an entire term, students step into the life of an extraordinary figure, bringing history, art, and self-expression together on stage.

This year’s production tells the story of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and the deeper strength that guided the Civil Rights Movement.

These moments capture what happens when students don’t just study history—they live it.
