The Little School Mission

The Little School cultivates authentic learning in community and the natural world, amplifying curiosity and expanding sense of self, belonging and possibility. 

The Little School Land Acknowledgement

A group of students on our fourth and fifth grade Green Team have worked hard to honor our commitment to stewardship, land, and community by drafting our very first land acknowledgement. These students recognize that our work remains unfinished and we as a school must take an active role in honoring the indigenous communities that have stewarded this land since time immemorial. We are so proud of their passion and dedication to land, life, and community!

The Little School Belonging Statement

We are a welcoming and inclusive school community and The Little School admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin.
