Thinking

Knowing HOW to think critically through any situation is necessary for success in life.

Creating

Cultivating creativity helps children bring their unique thoughts, feelings, and identity to the world.

Reflecting

Reflecting allows students to assess the effectiveness of their thinking, work, and interactions.

Making an Impact

Learning should be purposeful. It allows children to make a positive difference in their own lives, communities, and the world.

Spectrum Student Life

Life as a student at Spectrum Progressive School is a unique and fun experience. Both inside classroom and out, students are encouraged to think, create, and reflect on their learning

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

Said about us

Jayme

I am so grateful for Spectrum. This amazing school is teaching my children to approach the world with a love for process over perfection and equipping them with the ability to think independently. With a focus on the joy of learning rather than homework and test scores, the teachers and staff are supporting my kids on their journey to becoming thoughtful, engaged, and caring adults.
