About

When is a school not a school?

When it is a primer.

We believe that a parent shouldn’t have to choose between a joyful  childhood and an excellent education for their child. We believe that children (and families) are profoundly changed when they learn in an environment that invests the time to see them so they, in turn, learn to see themselves.

We believe in our school’s core values of Individuality, Discovery, and Community—they are alive in everything we do at Serendipity. At Serendipity School, we provide encouraging, engaging, and empowering learning experiences and a school community where children are encouraged to be and challenge themselves today so that they might be anything in the future.

We believe that great teachers inspire great learners. Our teachers are knowledgeable, creative, and innovative educators who are equally expert at providing dynamic, engaging, and differentiated learning experiences and at educating the whole child.

These are our beliefs… and we mean them.
