About us

When my wife and I were touring schools for our kindergarten-age daughter, we found the public school system in our town to be impersonal, inflexible, and outdated. The private schools we looked at, while modern and more personalized than the public school, were not in our budget. And we still wondered: would she be happy? Would we fit in? We thought about homeschooling and loved the idea of our daughter learning at her own pace and discovering what she was really passionate about, but going this route felt daunting and isolating. So, we found ourselves asking, why aren’t there more options out there? With all the innovation happening in technology and other areas of society, why does education feel frozen in time? 

It turns out there is a lot of innovation happening in education today. In the past few years, there have been an explosion of curriculums, courses, educational tools, and resources available to children and families. From Space X’s Astra Nova, to Acton Academy, Kahn Academy, OutSchool, Prisma and so many others, we found a lot to be inspired by. But this stuff is hard to find and, as a parent, even harder to know what to do with.  

That’s when it clicked for us. What we really wanted was a school for our daughter that could combine the best of centralized schooling (a big local community, professional educators, dedicated staff) with the best of home-schooling (dynamic educational content, close personal interaction). We imagined a place where we could access all the innovation that’s happening in education today under one roof, and in a way that was personal and social.  

We believe all children have astonishing potential. That’s why it's our dream to bring together the best of what education has to offer to create flexible, personalized programs that nurture the potential of each child -- so they can grow up to be independent, creative, and successful contributors to a better world.
