Admissions season is open and we are so excited ab Admissions season is open and we are so excited about the prospect of welcoming new families into our school community for the 2026-27 school year!

A Rainbow education provides highly qualified educators and committed administrators ready to partner with families for children who thrive. Rainbow students engage in hands-on projects and multisensory learning, providing meaningful content and curriculum. Every morning, children step into a classroom that nurtures their wellbeing, spiritual connection, confidence, and potential. 

We invite you to join us for a preschool through eighth grade open house on Thursday, February 5th, from 4-6 PM. View our classrooms, meet the teachers, and see examples of student work. We look forward to seeing you there!

Admissions season is here! Your child deserves an Admissions season is here!

Your child deserves an education that follows the natural curve of development, fostering a love of learning and school early on. At Rainbow, our program engages academic development through play, hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and multi-sensory teaching. Following the child’s natural disposition for learning embraces their inherent wonder and creativity, while also nurturing autonomy and intrinsic motivation.

Seventh and eighth graders are learning about cell Seventh and eighth graders are learning about cell biology! Students began investigating cell theory through the use of interactive notebooks, where they created a popup timeline of the history and discovery of microscopes and cells. This week students are learning how to use microscopes, beginning with looking at everyday objects like hair, glue, and eraser tips. Next they will compare and contrast plant and animal cells and dive deeper into the cell and its organelles.

The Omega Middle School program engages the Rainbow Seven Domains™ of Learning with the advanced needs of the adolescent at the heart. Classroom learning does more than increase in complexity of content, it ensures meaning and purpose are infused in the student experience increasing internal motivation and empowering the students as partners in their learning. The holistic curriculum engages the diversity of skills needed to thrive into the high school years and beyond.
