"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.” John Gatto



"Play is the highest form of research."

Juniper Tree Programs for children K-6th Grade
Juniper Tree offers a unique, community style environment with hands-on learning materials and curriculum inspired by holistic approaches to education such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf. We believe in an eclectic approach to enriching our classes and activities. The children are given the time and freedom to explore and play. They are self directed and motivated, based on their current interests.
Our program offers a multi-age classroom setting (K to 6th Grade) with a child-centered, developmental, project-based, hands-on approach. Learning takes place at a child’s own pace, giving students opportunities to make choices about how to approach a subject. The teacher works collaboratively with students to provide guidance and individualized support in Language Arts & Social Studies (Mon/Wed) and Math& Science (Tues/Thurs) according to the child's level and needs. In this way, the child experiences success with academic skills. The child will not be pushed into academic areas, but will remain challenged by appropriate tasks.
