We're rooted in relationships

Teachers and students are partners in learning. Our first-name-basis tradition and the high value we place on community create an environment in which students form deep bonds built on trust and mutual respect.

Mass-produced worksheets and rote memorization have no place here. With our hands-on, project-based, inquiry-driven program, students are fully immersed in their learning. Education is meant to be lived and breathed, not stifled.

The world our children will inherit needs intelligent, thoughtful leaders. Green Acres students have a voice and know how to use it as advocates for themselves and others. By the time they graduate, they are ready to take the helm.

Green Acres is a once-in-a-childhood kind of school. Our teachers are experts in child development from the earliest years to adolescence, and they know exactly how to preserve the golden years of childhood while pushing kids to think about big issues.

Wherever your child's high school journey takes them—public or private, small or big, progressive or traditional—they'll have all the knowledge and skills they need to be successful.

Your child's learning potential knows no bounds, and neither do our classroom spaces. Lessons transcend the physical walls of the classroom, taking advantage of the natural world and all it has to offer.

The grass really is greener at Green Acres

Experienced educators guide children to explore, discover, imagine, create, question, analyze, lead, problem solve, and live with compassion—foundational skills for success in both school and the rapidly changing world beyond.
