Is there a uniform or specific dress expectations?
Because we desire to create and promote an environment where dress is not a distraction to the educational process, we have very specific guidelines for dress. Our policy can be found here.
Can I visit my student's classroom?
We welcome visits from parents always. We do ask that you schedule it in advance if you plan to visit the classroom. This will allow our teachers to plan for added variables that may affect classroom dynamics.
What does family and parent involvement look like at the school?
There are specific expectations for volunteer hours for all families. We have countless opportunities for parents to be involved at Paideia, whether it is as simple as making copies or supervising recess or as involved as working with reading groups or teaching mini lessons. Visit our Information and Policies for more information.
What curriculum do you use for each content area?
All of our curricula are listed under the Academics page and this list is updated each year.
What does the application process look like?
