Nido (ages 6 weeks-18 months) & YCC Virtual Visit (ages 18-36 months)

1 hour

The word 'Nido' is derived from the Italian word meaning 'nest' and it conveys the spirit of the infant environment.

While we know that the best place for the infant is the home environment, many parents in today’s world have to go out to work, so we want to provide an environment for the young child as close to the home environment as possible. In this carefully prepared environment, we will serve the child's needs for independence, movement, order, love, and security so that they can flourish.

Primary Virtual Visit (ages 3-6)

Elementary Virtual Visit (ages 6-12)

1 hour

The Elementary curriculum, called Cosmic Education, allows the children to explore the subject areas as they experience the interrelatedness of all things to do with the universe and its creation.

From hiking to poetry, our students love learning because each day is different. They have the ability to choose "work" that interests them and explore our indoor and outdoor environments. Students learn at their own pace while developing concentration, focus, independence, and leadership skills.

Upper School Guides are trained to support adolescents in academic, social, and emotional growth. They are responsible for planning engaging lessons, assigning meaningful follow-up work, and providing diverse work assessments.

This program is more than just school; it's a community and a home. It's a safe space to learn and grow during the adolescent years. It's where school doesn't feel like school and every day is different. The lessons learned here build the foundation for life beyond school.
