School Notes

At Ventana School, we believe in the infinite potential of the confident, curious child.
Children's questions and perspectives are honored every day as our teachers engage their wonder and creativity. We approach education this way because it nurtures engaged, intellectually curious individuals who are prepared to define their own success and contribute to the world in truly original ways.

Ventana School is a progressive, Reggio-inspired Episcopal school. We educate the whole child: intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually. We inspire children to have an inquiring mind and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, and the gift of joy and wonder in the ever-changing world.We nurture a community in which creativity, imagination and the spirit of learning thrive.
Grounded in Reggio Philosophy:When children are treated as competent individuals with valid perspectives, they blossom into confident, curious learners. Ventana`s educational philosophy builds on children`s innate curiosity as the vehicle for learning.
The Power of Inquiry:At Ventana, our teachers are skilled at scaffolding and facilitating class discussions in a way that honors everyone`s ideas and participation. As a result, our students learn how to self-advocate, build upon each other`s ideas, and work together to explore authentic problems and solutions. When children`s questions are honored and explored, they learn to value their observations, their instincts, and ultimately, themselves.
Our Inspired Teachers: Ventana School aligns our educational philosophy, leadership approach, and resources so that rather than feeling forced to `teach to the test,` we are inspired to bring out the passionate curiosity in every student. When teachers have the support and the freedom to tailor their classrooms and their curriculum to respond to students` interests, they do their best work.
Collaboration:Collaboration is integral to our approach in every classroom, because we know that when children work together to solve problems or create something new, they learn how to value and build on each other`s ideas. Even at recess, we facilitate collaborative inquiry and creativity by allowing students to work in our `tinkering space.` The children have access to a wide range of objects and materials with time to create whatever interests them. As groups naturally emerge to make interesting projects together (e.g., a go-cart, a see-saw, a tiny amusement park), their ability to collaborate effectively grows along with their confidence.
Sharing at Weekly Assembly:At Ventana, we have a weekly assembly called Wondering Time where children are encouraged to share their personal traditions, cultures, and values. We welcome every part of each child`s identity, because every part of them matters. When children have a safe space to share their backgrounds, values, and cultures, they learn to respect and value the unique traits that they and everyone else bring to our community and the world.
