Learning happens
here.
With a beautifully forested campus and frequent trips around the surrounding area, The Skola takes a novel approach to elementary education: bigger community, better connections.
OUR MISSION
The Skola inspires all students to be change makers and stewards of the land and in their community. We foster curiosity, creativity, compassion, and connection in order to support each child's innate love of learning and realization of their individual potential to make meaningful change in the world.
We inspire our students through a rigorous, high quality education where the forest and community are extensions of our everyday classrooms. We stand as a true community school, accessible to all, creating rich and diverse environments that allow students the opportunity to engage with real-world solution-making and apply their learning in diverse, meaningful contexts.
Welcome to The Skola
The Skola is a not-for-profit, independent school. We use mixed-age groups for classroom activities, community projects, and nature immersions, in addition to 1-on-1 sessions with our learning specialists to bring focused attention to each child’s experience.
Our big picture curriculum
The essential skills of creativity, critical thinking, and compassionate decision-making come to life when kids can connect what they learn to where AND who they are.
Our students are free thinkers.
They have passion and grit.
Students learn how to strengthen their intrinsic motivation to be life long learners.
