School Notes
- A new and innovative K-6 elementary school that maintains an approximate 12:1 student/teacher ratio.
- We help the children learn to think critically, and outside the box! Our mission is to inspire a true joy in learning, and to create lifelong learners.
- We don't teach to the test, but rather utilize authentic assessments.
- We consider the whole child - mind, body, heart and soul - through unique programs such as individual academic learning plans, daily meditation and yoga, a cutting edge PE program, character development, communication and leadership skill development, and an emphasis on the creative arts as well as academics.
- Affiliated with Rainbow Kids Integral Preschool (www.RainbowKidsSchool.com).
- Integral Education unites the modern aim of World Knowledge (traditional academics, etc.), with the ancient aim of Self-Knowledge (understanding one's innate gifts, talents, personality, etc.). With both, one tends to make better choices in life, choices that often lead to greater happiness and success. Our unique program:
- Inspires the Joy of Inquiry and Exploration
- Maintains a low student/teacher ration of about 12:1
- Utilizes innovative Holistic educational approaches
- Meets and exceeds California State Standards
- Includes cutting edge Physical Education programs such as Awareness Through the Body (ATB) and Yoga for Children.
- Sample of notable school alumni/alumnae:
- Maria Montessori - First woman to practice medicine in Italy and a pioneer in educational methods. -
