The Art of Education
Academic rigor in the morning. Practical arts in the afternoon. A PreK3–Grade 12 independent school where children learn with their heads, hearts, and hands.
Five Pillars
Environment
A campus built for wonder — gardens, workshops, and open air as the classroom.
Curriculum
Rigorous academics taught in rhythm with how children actually grow.
Educators
Teachers who know every child by name, story, and strength.
Emotional Intelligence
Character and self-knowledge, cultivated as deliberately as arithmetic.
Family Involvement
Aligned families, invited into the life of the school.

"That's what sold me on the school. I purposely looked at the high schoolers' eyes. I wanted to see if there was still light in their eyes. There was, and I knew this was the right place."
— Victory Gsoon, Academy Parent"The Academy at the PARC is a place that educates and nurtures the whole child. This is the kind of learning that is both the education of the future and the golden days of the past."
— Jessica Jury, Academy Parent"My daughter has been taking workshops in blacksmithing, cobb earth building, cooking and leather crafting. She has so much fun with the kids there in the natural environment."
