We are WASC Accredited.  WASC is a voluntary dual-purpose process for schools to demonstrate that they provide high-quality learning and model continual self-improvement. We complete a thorough self-study every five or six years and submit that to a WASC Team.  They come and spend three days with us verifying and observing and then they write their own report and make recommendations.  You can read our self-study here, and the WASC Team findings here.  

   This is the plan we use to set goals to improve our school. It's also how we measure our progress towards those goals. Parents, staff and the School Board work together to write and revise this plan yearly. We have five goals:

• Goal 1- Creating a school culture where staff, students, and families feel welcome, safe, and included.

• Goal 2- A school site that is safe and facilitates the kind of learning we envision: hands-on, place-based, student-centered, authentic learning experiences.

• Goal 3 - Assessment that is used to plan student supports and track individual student growth, Curriculum that integrates standards into a rich and rigorous curriculum that is hands-on, project-based, and developmentally appropriate

• Goal 4- Graduates who are ready for college, career, and community • Goal 5 - Governance: Developing our capacity as a teacher-run school and planning for a sustainable and strong leadership. The whole plan is posted on our website and discussed regularly at our Board Meetings and Community Events. We’d love your input.
