Our focus is for students to be able to discover the beauty in math and explain their thinking.

Using a hands-on approach to discovery and building on children’s natural curiosity, we give students opportunities to build and deepen their understanding and further their scientific literacy.

We enable students to become passionate readers, clear thinkers, and capable communicators.

We emphasize an interdisciplinary exploration involving literacy, math, art, and science with and a focus on social justice — learning from history to take action to engage a changing world.
