Our second graders spent the day building rockets Our second graders spent the day building rockets with our friends Tom and Anne Heck. Each rocket contained a slip of paper upon which our students wrote a dream for their future. Students then joyfully launched those dreams high into the sky. What a beautiful integration of science and social-emotional learning! #rainbowcommunityschool #elementaryschool #HolisticEducation

Omega Middle School Spanish students created their Omega Middle School Spanish students created their own version of the "One Semester of Spanish - Love Song" for their Quarter One Electives Showcase. What fun!

Electives offer middle school students opportunities to engage in guided choice and increased autonomy. Essential to the adolescent years, our 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.
