| Families Helping Our Students Flourish |
Phase 1 of the Flourish Campaign allowed us to welcome our 5th grade students into the Grammar School building while creating space across campus for enhanced safety, realignment, and capacity-building for the future. We are deeply grateful to the families whose generosity turned this vision into reality!
A special thank you to the Hillman family for their generous lead gift, and to the Foster, Gallagher, Marvel, McEachern, and McNamee families, along with grandparents Susan and Gordon Swanson, for their significant supporting gifts. Every family who contributed to this first phase of the Flourish Campaign helped make these beautiful new learning spaces possible. Stay tuned for news about next phase plans to make our entire campus Flourish for years to come!

| Who is Charlotte Mason and what is her impact on the school? |
Some concrete examples of utilizing classical methodology with a Charlotte Mason approach include, but are not limited to nature studies, picture studies, composer studies, memorization, recitation, narration, and engagement with living ideas and living books. “Living” books are simply finely written texts, often written in narrative form, as opposed to dry textbooks. Emphasis in virtue training to enable students to think rightly and act rightly as well as the understanding that synthetic knowledge should precede analytical knowledge are attributable to Charlotte Mason.
