Serendipity Elementary School
Serving Kindergarten through Grade 5
We now offer Transitional Kindergarten, too!
We believe that parents shouldn’t have to choose between a happy child and a well-educated child. At Serendipity, children love coming to school, feel that they are an important part of a community, and experience deep learning through active, joyful discovery. At our little school, we offer a natural setting where children are treated as unique individuals, ensuring that they realize their fullest potentials and are prepared for future success and happiness in an ever-changing world.
Our world-class 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. Our teachers take the time to really get to know students (even those they don’t currently teach) so that every child at Serendipity School feels seen, respected, and celebrated. Serendipity School teachers are encouraged to take an organic approach to the curriculum and to share their unique talents and passion for learning new things, just as our students do.
Serendipity School classrooms are filled with warm natural light, breezes from the outdoors, beautiful displays of student work and projects; and numerous tools, games, and resources for learning and discovery. We utilize an open classroom model that reinforces community and fuels creativity, collaboration, ingenuity, and individual achievement.
While our classrooms are beautiful, nature is the true star of our 2.5-acre campus. Classrooms open to the outdoors, where numerous spaces for outdoor learning, exploration and play await. The tree-lined playground offers ample space for running, climbing, sand play, ball play, jumping rope, and hula hooping. Students learn in the outdoor classroom, tend the greenhouse and gardens and enjoy fruits and vegetables from both the gardens and various fruit trees. Children build forts and treehouses in the Hideout, dig at the Excavation Station, explore the nature trails, play and read in the meadow, and relax in the shade of beautiful pines, firs, oaks, and towering redwoods.
Serendipity School’s core values of Individuality, Discovery, and Community are alive in everything we do at the Elementary School. We know that your child is not like anyone else, and neither are we. At Serendipity Elementary School, we provide an encouraging, engaging, and empowering learning experience and a school community where children are encouraged to be and challenge themselves today so that they might be anything in the future.
“Serendipity does not mold its students into one sort of learner. It gives children the ability to take risks to be who they truly are meant to be and thus blesses the world with diverse thinkers and resourceful, lifelong learners.”
