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.
Light The Way
Through Light the Way, every gift helps complete critical infrastructure needs that support the daily life and long-term sustainability of our campus. All donations are matched dollar-for-dollar up to $300,000, immediately doubling your impact. This campaign strengthens the systems and spaces that make learning possible, ensuring The Skola remains a safe, stable, and inspiring place for students and educators for years to come.
OUR MISSION
The Skola’s mission is to educate the whole child heart, body, and mind–inspiring them to become change makers and stewards. We encourage compassionate critical thinkers and bold risk takers who are adaptable, persistent, and driven by curiosity.
We achieve this through an intentionally designed approach to learning that extends beyond the classroom, where the forest and community serve as living learning spaces. These environments immerse students in real-world problem-solving and invite them to apply their learning in meaningful ways.
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 lifelong learners.
