Kids can choose a new elective every quarter from animal science to robotics… art to parkour. We can also use elective time for occupational therapy (if needed) and/or extra math or OG tutoring time if your child is struggling academically.

Our afternoons at Old Town are project-based. We focus on problem-based learning and we’re the first elementary school in the nation to do so despite large evidence that it is the best way to create flexible knowledge and resilient learners.

We encourage inquiry and use it to fuel a child’s engagement in the process of learning.

We don’t expect our students to sit still and be quiet. We much prefer them to ask us questions—hard ones—and to be prepared to help find answers.

With so many historic sights just a stone’s throw away, our field trip options are vast.

Playgrounds are great for building gross and fine motor skills. They build strength and dexterity, which can aid in other tasks like writing and drawing, too. They're essential for child development.

Our playground in Old Town is inspired by Swedish playgrounds focusing a lot on gross motor activities that require large muscle groups like the arms, legs and torso. It requires a higher level of energy to run, jump and play around and the kids love it!
