As students grasp concepts and master skills, they become more confident and engaged in their learning. Children participate in a well-rounded curriculum that includes instruction in academic fields such as science, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and world languages. Arts such as music, drama, dance, drawing, sculpture, painting, crafts, handiwork, and gardening are also an integral part of the curriculum.

Our commitment to teaching individual responsibility as well as compassion and respect for self and others motivates all of our educational policies and procedures. Our original charter was granted by Willits Unified School District in 1998. Both our middle and high school programs are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Our graduation requirements are fully aligned with the A-G admissions requirements of the California State University and University of California systems. We partner closely with Mendocino College and offer an Early College program on our campus.
