More About Rainbow Community School

In addition to a curriculum that integrates the Seven Domains™, Rainbow Community School expands on this foundation with project-based learning, mission centered instruction, and a variety of field experiences that enhance areas of study.

Educational Programs

 

Our middle grades program builds on the foundation established in earlier years taking into account the needs of the adolescent learner. Lessons build on the integration of the Seven Domains™ and allow the application of academic principles in theory as well as hands-on, experiential learning. Real-life projects encourage students to launch their own businesses and get more comfortable with public speaking. They can explore their interests with a comprehensive election program.

The Process

Rainbow Community School is a preK-8th grade Independent School. During the elementary years, we work to increase student understanding and mastery of essential learning skills. In the middle grades years, we challenge students to know who they are as academic learners, help them develop a strong sense of self worth and to use their voice to express themselves authentically.
