Philosophy
Education is the pursuit of knowledge. It is a
pursuit that occurs as much outside of the classroom as it does
inside. Holding classes on only three core days per week leaves
ample time for children to attain the knowledge, seek the
adventure, and develop the relationships that lie beyond the four
walls of a classroom.
We endeavor to teach children to be inquirers,
thinkers, communicators, and risk-takers by creating a supportive,
nurturing environment that surrounds a creative, open-ended
academic program.
We give children a chance to pursue countless
other interests and spend valuable time with family, as well as to
just "be children." Despite the fact that AHB Community School
students spend approximately half as much time in school compared
to traditional school students, our low student-teacher ratio
allows us to meet each child's needs in a hands-on, project-based
way that promotes a love of learning.
