Mixed-age community
Children practice learning with, helping, and being inspired by peers at different stages.
Learning grows with your child
A Place to Belong, Explore, and Become.
Each studio meets children where they are. Younger learners develop independence through purposeful play and exploration; older learners build academic mastery, collaboration, and responsibility through meaningful work.

Ages 4–6 · Early childhood
Spark Studio
Where wonder becomes the beginning of independence.
Our Spark Studio is inspired by Montessori principles and Acton's emphasis on joyful, self-directed discovery. Children learn through purposeful play, hands-on materials, movement, stories, art, and outdoor exploration.
The focus is on confidence and readiness: caring for themselves and their environment, developing friendships, practicing kindness, and discovering the foundations of language and number sense.
- Hands-on Montessori-inspired work and imaginative play
- Early reading, writing, and math readiness at an individual pace
- Creative expression, music, nature, and sensory discovery
- Independence, emotional regulation, and collaboration
Ages 6–11 · Elementary
Elementary Studio
Where young heroes take ownership of meaningful work.
Elementary learners develop mastery in reading, writing, and math through personal goals and self-paced practice. They learn to ask powerful questions and take on increasingly ambitious projects alongside their peers.
Socratic discussions, hands-on STEM and maker quests, peer collaboration, and shared Studio Promises develop critical thinking, character, and real-world problem-solving.
- Individual goal setting and mastery-based academic progress
- Hands-on STEM, engineering, design, and project-based quests
- Socratic dialogue, communication, and collaborative problem-solving
- Leadership, accountability, and community agreements
