Our five pillars define who we are. They are not taught in isolation, but are deeply woven into each day across every age group—enriching and interconnecting with one another.
Faith, Nature, Reggio Emilia, Language & Culture, and The Arts provide a shared foundation for learning throughout our school.
Together, they create a learning environment where children can wonder, investigate, communicate, create, and make meaningful connections with the world around them.
Each pillar brings a distinct perspective to our work, while all five are expressed throughout the daily life of our school.
Spiritual foundation, love, empathy, and reverence for creation.
Daily reflections, gratitude practices, ethical discussions, and seeing the divine in one another.
Outdoor classroom, environmental stewardship, and seasonal rhythms.
Weather exploration, outdoor play, gardening, and natural loose parts in learning spaces.
The child as capable, environment as third teacher, and deep inquiry.
Choice-driven projects, documentation of learning, provocation tables, and child-led research.
Diversity, identity, global awareness, and rich storytelling.
Multilingual exposure, community stories, celebrating heritage, and expressive dialogue.
The "100 Languages" of visual arts, music, movement, and drama.
Clay work, loose parts, dramatic play, musical exploration, and creative problem-solving.
Our pillars are not separate subjects or periods of the day. They intersect naturally as children explore ideas, ask questions, build relationships, and make their thinking visible.
Children gather fallen leaves and twigs in the garden, express gratitude for creation, and create natural self-portraits.
Listening to a family heritage story inspires a child-led inquiry project where children sculpt story characters using clay and wire.
Observing a caterpillar's transformation sparks child-led research, opening deep conversations about growth, life, and wonder.
“We do not teach these pillars as separate periods of the day; we live them as a unified culture.”
Across every age group, these foundational ideas help shape the experiences we create for children. They guide how we design environments, build relationships, approach learning, and invite children to understand themselves and the world around them.
