The Chalkboard School
Ages 5 to 12
The Chalkboard School offers classes that go deep into the topic at hand. Be it science or Spanish, the material being taught is at an expert's level, but taught in terms children can understand. We believe in taking children's curiosity very seriously and rewarding it with truly in-depth explanations that will allow them to fall in love with the topic. We work in an emergent curriculum manner, following the style of gifted education, where we let children's incessant questions be our guides.

Learn more about our teachers and our school:
​
-
In-Depth Connection: Our very small classes (no more than 8 students) make it possible for the teacher to truly know each child, thus being able to provide them with meaningful material to push their own limits.
​
-
Evidence-based Education: We teach children to think critically, and to differentiate fact from opinion in all subjects, not just the sciences!
​
-
Personalized Learning: Our small classes allow us to never leave a child confused, nor another one bored to tears.
​
-
Analog Education: School is a completely screen-free zone where kids learn about how fascinating the natural world is.
​
-
Apolitical: Children need a safe place where they can be children, without the worries of the adult world.
​
-
Multi-Age Classrooms: Children are not grouped by ages, thus allowing them to benefit from peer-teaching and peer-learning.
​
-
Free-Range Learning: We encourage independence and curiosity, so children learn to learn.
