Understanding the balance between individuality and community
We are committed to providing an educational environment that nurtures both academic excellence and personal growth. The implementation of these programs aligns with our mission to support every student in reaching their full potential.
Nature as Our Classroom
We are dedicated to using the Monterey Peninsula as a classroom to reinforce the importance of experiential and inquiry-based learning. We take trips to farmers markets, visit the abundant local agriculture, explore local museums, and learn about our many incredible coastal habitats and its bio diversity.
Our Community Garden
Our dedicated school garden provides students with hands-on experiences in planting and tending, promoting environmental awareness and healthy living habits. The garden serves as a living laboratory for learning beyond textbooks, aligning with our commitment to experiential education and sustainability.
Monterey Peninsula
We utilize our school grounds and the diverse natural resources of the Monterey Peninsula as extensions of the classroom. This approach enriches our curriculum with real-world experiences in biodiversity, marine biology, and agriculture, fostering environmental stewardship and hands-on learning opportunities.
Building Community
Academic enrichment provides experiences outside the traditional classroom, allowing grades PK-4 to focus on growing essential skills such as self-resilience, empathy, and building connections with peers.
Monthly Assemblies & Community Meetings
Monthly assemblies
showcase student achievements and learning across grades. Led by Grade 4 students, the assemblies provide an opportunity for students to showcase their work and develop their leadership and public speaking skills.
For the Lower Division, Pre-K to Grade 4 students come together on the last Friday of each month for a special assembly.
Community meetings
are held weekly, allowing students to come together to share, build community, and learn about activities in other classrooms.
In the Lower Division, community meetings are led by Grade 4 students, allowing them to continue honing their leadership skills and model core values for their younger peers.
Our Parent-Teacher Committees
are vital in fostering collaboration between parents and teachers. These committees help bridge the gap between home and school, ensuring that parents have a voice in their child’s education and contributing to the overall success and development of our students.
Student & Community Life
Our seasonal and community events not only bring joy and celebration but also foster community collaboration and enrich student learning experiences.
Monthly Classroom Socials
Monthly Classroom socials provide an opportunity for families to join in your child's classroom, view student work, learn about classroom activities, and to engage with our instructional programming and see your child's progress and achievements alongside their peers.
Back-to-School Nights
Back-to-School Nights are an essential part of our school year. Hosted within the first month of school, they provide parents with an opportunity to meet their child's teachers, gain insight into the curriculum, and understand the expectations for the year, strengthening the partnership between home and school.
Community Meeting
Every Friday morning, all our Lower Division students and faculty gather in the Grade 4 classroom for our beloved Community Meeting. This special time is one of the highlights of the week—filled with greetings, sharing, celebrations, and plenty of fun!
Annual Art & Math Night
The evening provides an opportunity to celebrate artistic expression, mathematical exploration, and the dedication of our faculty, while also building connections across our school community.
Halloween Celebration & Parade
Our annual Halloween Parade, held the Friday before Halloween. This festive event encourages students, faculty, staff, and families to come together in costume, participating in a musical parade through the neighborhood.
Grandparents & Special Friends Day
