Founded in 2011 by a small and dedicated group of teachers and parents and two students, the Schoolhouse now enrolls over 100 students.

Teachers at the Schoolhouse lead mixed-grade classes. Currently the school is configured with a mixed Kindergarten/1st grade class, a mixed 2nd/3rd grade class, a mixed 4th/5th grade class, and three classes that mix students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. K-5 averages 12 students per grade. As we grow, middle school will average 18 students per grade.
