Roots Academy

We allow each child to explore their unique interests and figure out “what makes them tick.” We are laying the foundation for a life well lived in the pursuit of happiness, purpose, and adventure. In addition to meeting grade appropriate academic standards, our curriculum focuses on exploring five core themes: Kindness Compassion Self Awareness (Physical + Emotional) The Beauty of Being an Individual Connection / Being part of a Larger Whole (the natural world, different cultures, a class, etc.) We utilize a self directed project based learning approach drawing from the principles of Reggio Emilia and Montessori in conjunction with the intentional use of technology to maximize the educational experience of each Learner.

Taking full advantage of our wooded campus, and close proximity to an abundance of trails, parks, and conservation land, Roots aims to offer a curriculum rich in direct experience with Nature that nurtures a sense of community and belonging among children, families and the world around us. Our small class sizes and high adult to child ratios further allow us to offer an emergent curriculum that both embraces the natural rhythms of the world around us and the educational and social emotional needs of the developing child.
