Mission

Five Acre School provides a child-centered learning environment that fosters the growth of the whole child in relationship to each other, our community, and the natural world.   

Our Vision

All students in the community are empowered in all aspects
of their development and have ownership over their education.

Responsiveness

We respond to each other with nurturing kindness and flexibility, giving each other the chance to succeed and take ownership of our learning and experience.

Curiosity

We encourage inquiry, allowing the learning process to remain open to the discovery of new ideas and techniques.

Compassion

We support each other’s unique perspectives, viewing differences as an opportunity to develop emotional intelligence.

Stewardship

We educate the whole person, connecting to the broader community, nature and our environment. We emphasize the importance of being interconnected.

Community

We foster connection, embracing diversity to create a welcoming family environment.
