    As a leading independent, private day school in Ponte Vedra Beach, we offer a whole child approach to ensure success
    Our academically challenging, independent private day school’s eight-acre campus is surrounded by nature and located in the heart of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. We work closely with our families to foster the growth of whole, well-rounded, and happy children and to inspire an appreciation for the natural world. Our highly skilled faculty and staff at our early learning, child development school inspire an appreciation for nature and promote good health and wellbeing. We teach students not what to think, but how to think by using experiences, discussions, and other activities so students discover concepts by themselves through engagement and independent thinking.

    Our Communities of Learning uncover each child’s unique learning ability

    Our Communities of Learning provide children small classrooms with a rich, integrative and personalized curriculum to encourage creativity and independent thinking. This curriculum is based on individual needs allowing a student the freedom to move ahead after mastering a subject and be given time for extra work and enrichment activities for subjects that are still developing. Our instruction utilizes the internationally recognized Emilio Reggia approach to learning wherein faculty and staff work passionately to foster a peaceful and productive work environment by providing a strong social, emotional, physical, and cognitive foundation.
