What we do…
For 14 years, we have been committed to Reimagining Education And Living Meaningfully (REALM). We provide kids and families with:
freedom to choose their own educational journey, you can design your own schedule here
an amazing community where kids thrive because they are able to explore their passions
teachers who LOVE the subject they are teaching
nurturing and authentic relationships that help kids thrive
We welcome all kids - we have removed the barriers of grade levels, standardized testing, and large class sizes that often hinder a love for learning - to create an environment where kids thrive!
Our Approach
We believe…
kids learn best when they love what they are learning - 120 classes to chose from!
the best teaching comes from a place of passion, teachers design their own classes
kids demonstrate learning through cool projects - our year-end events are EPIC!
learning in the world is critical to kids awareness, confidence, and sense of place
building kind community members is equally as important as academic learning
Love: We accept everyone for who they are and teach tolerance and acceptance as a core tenant of our community. Small classes (8:1 ratio) reinforce a close-knit community where each student feels valued - and - we give lots of hugs here too.
Our Values
Choice: Flexibility reigns supreme. Students and families choose their courses, schedules, and attendance frequency. Teachers teach based on passion and modern relevance. We offer a vast selection of super cool opportunities that kids love!
Challenge: Students select classes based on desired challenge levels, diving deep into content through presentations, projects, and real-world applications. No traditional grade levels, grading, or testing - placing the real value on the challenge of the assignment.
Belonging: We blend school, family, and community to embrace all learners. Families collaborate on tailored class plans and community partners contribute to our class offerings, ensuring kids feel a sense of place and purpose.
Imagination: We believe that education, like the world around it, needs to constantly evolve, change, and grow. With a little imagination, our kids can see the world for not just what it is, but what it can be.
