About Salmonberry

Education for Meaning

Children are natural learners and engage much more than just their intellect. In pursuing optimal academic growth for all students, Salmonberry uses an integrated and thematic approach that draws out children’s sense of imagination, creativity and adventure. Curriculum is designed to bring various subjects together through whole experiences both inside the classroom and beyond.

Learning in Relationship

Salmonberry’s smaller multi-age classrooms are designed to deepen the relationships between teachers and learners by emphasizing communication and kindness and respecting a diversity of experiences. In this intimate environment of cooperation and camaraderie, each child is known and cared for by teachers and friends alike.

Holistic Education

Our students are given opportunities to explore learning their bodies through play and dance; they explore creativity through art, craft, music and drama; and they learn to pause, breathe and self-reflect through meditation, journaling and community meetings. Teachers guide students as they learn through their minds, bodies, hearts and spirit.

"I feel very good about our decision."

The ratio of student to teacher is only one of the reasons our children seem to be learning so quickly but it certainly helps. 7:1 allows our oldest to really get deep instruction that the public school, even with the best of intentions, could not ever offer. I feel very good about our decision to have our kids attend Salmonberry School. Tuition is small in comparison to what they offer.

"The program adjusts to meet his needs."

I have been a Salmonberry parent for seven years. We have one child. I would do absolutely anything for him and I could send him to any school, anywhere. I choose to have him at Salmonberry School.
