Mission Statement:

We provide a collaborative, accessible learning environment that uniquely engages each student, embraces their potential, and prepares them for their future.

Philosophy/Belief Statement: We’re all different. Which is why we don’t subscribe to cookie-cutter educations. Our philosophy is to fit the curriculum to the student. Not the other way around. We believe that no matter how distracted, impatient, uninterested, anxious, or unengaged, the potential really is in there. It just needs to be coaxed out. With patience, empathy and persistence, we work with our students to incite their natural curiosity and instill a love of learning.

Notes/School Information:

In a complex world, creative ideas and solutions are best formed by the widest range of perspectives. Therefore, Yellow Wood Academy welcomes a diverse community, and believes that a diverse community is essential to healthy education. Further, we believe that such a community includes and embraces a range of differences in learning style, race, color, creed, religion, ethnic and national origin, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, neurodiversity, and life experience. We therefore foster and encourage respect for human differences, growth of the individual, and diversity within the school population.
