Tools for Parents

School can be a place where children love learning... a place filled with wonder, joy, and a sense of positive identity and connection.

As both a veteran educator of 25+ years and a mom, I was thrilled to find a progressive school in our area.  Spectrum’s philosophy supports hands-on, individualized learning that you simply cannot find in most public schools today.  The low student-teacher ratio combines with project and interest-based learning experiences to create an environment second to none.  Within weeks of his arrival at Spectrum, my son, Cameron, was shocked and thrilled to discover that not only was he allowed to work and collaborate with his peers, but it was encouraged!  Spectrum Progressive School educators value the learner diversity in classrooms and work tirelessly to meet each student where he/she is at to help support individual learning styles and perspectives.  We just couldn’t be happier to attend this wonderful school.
