Admissions season is here! One of the most critic Admissions season is here!

One of the most critical times in a child’s development is the span from 8-10 years old, when they initiate individuation from their caregivers and define the initial roots of their identity. Rainbow not only provides an academically challenging and emotionally responsive environment for our students during this tender time, but also cultivates a strong school to home connection. This partnership fortifies the child’s healthy relationships to self, school, learning and family, supporting thriving far beyond the elementary years.

How would you describe a dill pickle? Second gra How would you describe a dill pickle? 

Second graders are learning how to conduct experiments and record them in their science journals. Their first experiment was to identify an object, in this case, a dill pickle. They did some research to learn what the five senses are and then used their senses to record observations about the pickles using adjectives to describe their observations through each of the senses before writing a conclusion with a very descriptive sentence about a pickle. Check out an example in the photos!

Guided Choice and Increased Autonomy - Essential t Guided Choice and Increased Autonomy - Essential to the adolescent years, our Omega Middle School program ensures that student autonomy is nurtured, student passions are celebrated, and young people are reinforced in their own ability to work through difficulty and challenge. This culture of guided independence is strengthened by the depth of relationship fostered between the students and their teachers. 

J-Term Electives are just one of the many ways guided choice and increased autonomy is fostered. In this first week following the Winter Break, students dip their toes into a week of mini electives designed to allow student creativity and interests bloom.
