We were so pleased to get this wonderful note from The Magnolia School students and staff that time traveled with us last week! Thank you!!

Did you know that we average around 11,000 school children a year at our ? We love sharing our history with adults and kids from near and far -- and hearing that our guests enjoyed their visit is always a big plus!
Dear Magnolia Community,
I'm a parent of a Magnolia elementary school graduate. If you have a child who struggles with reading, writing, or spelling, please get in touch with me. Your child is bright and creative, but intelligence has nothing to do with dyslexia and related learning differences.
Don't let your child needlessly suffer with the anxiety and stress that comes with these challenges! I'm a Certified Dyslexia Specialist and would love to talk with you and your child. I may be able to help. More info on my website. See you soon!

LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE FOR the remainder of SPRING & for all of SUMMER!

Pictured here are moments from his sonnet writing workshops with Cobb Middle School and The Magnolia School as part of his week-long residency with the Southern Shakespeare Company.

My son graduated this year but looking back at his applications over the years, half of you are his emergency contacts. Going to SAIL will be new for us and I’m thankful to see so many friends but nonetheless, I am going to miss our little community of emergency contacts.

Oil Paintings | Jhina Alvarado, Artist


There is no substitute for nature. There is no classroom that can approximate its roots, wings, shadows and light. We must find creative ways of opening up the doors and windows of our classrooms. Ways of rejoining that ancestral circle and continuum.

We have to invite life back into our children's education.

- Art by Jhina Alvarado

Oil Paintings | Jhina Alvarado, Artist Jhina Alvarado is a figurative, fine artist. Her oil paintings are available in galleries and available on her website. Limited edition prints and commissions are also available.

A school for active learning

The Magnolia School is a private, nonprofit K-8 school founded in 1985 on the idea that children have a natural inclination to learn that should be nurtured and allowed to flourish in a safe and caring environment. We are steadfastly committed to:


  • multi-age classrooms (K-2, 3-5, 6-8);

  • 10-1 student-teacher ratio;

  • a small size (intentionally fewer than 60 students in the whole school);
  • Videos (show all)
