Program accomplishments

  • We are proudly designated as an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the Primary Years Program, and serving more than 150 students in Preschool through Grade 6. We believe in constructivist learning - meaning that our students are discussing their ideas together, working to build understanding as a class. Through the use of classroom agreements and the I.B. Learner Profile we share a vision of what it means to be a learner, now and lifelong. Our students make learning take action by evidencing learning in many different ways, being active participants in assessment, and through project based learning that not only builds their understanding of the world, but also creates partnerships in learning between students, classes, the school, and the wider community. We prioritize outdoor learning from the environment around us, taking full advantage of the 40 acres of woods surrounding the school. Discovery students benefit from that idea of being balanced learners with a full academic morning centered around core subjects like reading, writing, mathematics, and the IB Program of Inquiry, moving to three related specialist subjects in the afternoon including woods, genius hour, STEM, visual art, music, library, Spanish, physical education, and health. Enrichment classes on Friday afternoons allow teachers and community members to share their passions and knowledge with students who choose from those offerings they are most interested in. Past offerings have included board games club, comic book clubs, art club, salsa dancing, urban farming, meditation, and more.
