Our Core Themes

In addition to meeting grade appropriate academic standards, our curriculum focuses on exploring five core themes:

 
 

Our Values

From our program directors to our youngest friends, we are a community of Learners who believe that our early academic experiences have the power to shape not only the trajectory of our education but also how we participate and interact in our immediate and global communities.

At Roots, we believe that educating young children requires us to get to know not just the individual student, but also their family and community in order to understand each child holistically.

Where we come from and where we have been matters just as much as where we are going.

The adventurous spirit of a Roots student lends itself to pursuing subject matter that is both challenging and rigorous. Guided by the interests of our Learning community, we draw from several educational philosophies to create an emergent curriculum that meets the needs of our students and relevant grade level academic standards.

 

We believe that when we allow each child to explore their unique interests and figure out β€œwhat makes them tick” we are laying the foundation for a life well-lived in the pursuit of happiness, purpose, and adventure.
