The Common School

The mission of The Common School is to engage students in a transformative, progressive education that cultivates a love of learning, critical thinking, compassion for others, and a deep commitment to social justice and the environment.

We believe that children learn best when they are engaged with the world around them. Our dynamic approach to classroom learning encourages students to get curious, learn from multiple perspectives, and ask lots of questions in a safe and stimulating environment. Schoolwork isn’t a rote assignment, it’s a compelling adventure—one that cultivates independent thinking and builds self-confidence along the way. We want to spark imagination and instill an appreciation for learning as an engaging and joyful pursuit.
