The Schoolhouse Learning Center

The Schoolhouse is a progressive school that employs blended teaching and learning strategies adapted from many different educational philosophies. We strive for joyful, transformative learning that cultivates students' natural curiosity, critical thinking skills, and compassion for others. Our teachers respect children’s individual differences, nurture their capacity for growth, and are committed to authenticity in the activities that shape their learning. Planning Time, a teaching format unique to Schoolhouse, gives our elementary and middle school students agency and ownership over their education. The play- and nature-based programming in our Story Time Preschool gives preschoolers the same freedom and empowerment. Throughout their time at Schoolhouse, students explore how identity, and social and environmental justice, shape our world and connect the many areas of learning – from the sheer delight of a preschool forest adventure t the nuances of a middle school project.
