About us

The Academy is a place where we activate our creativity processes while we engage knowledge, discernment, wisdom and understanding.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy empowers children and teachers by focusing on the creative and competent child, eager for exploration and engagement across interdisciplinary units of study. We support a love for learning while honoring the elegance of connections across a milieu of topics.

Our philosophy is to create a space for personal and societal transformation by creating opportunities for inquiry, exploration, creativity with learning and with one another. We support and encourage innovation, personal growth, equity, social justice, and infusion of our Jewish culture. We commit to building rich social lives centered on community, generosity, compassion, discernment, understanding, wisdom and rigorous academic experiences.

We see learning for ourselves and our students as a series of joyful experiences that encourage both teachers and students to build their creative capacities and develop a life-long love of learning. We commit to loving and serving one another with all our hearts.
