All Souls School

All Souls School, an early childhood day school founded in 1965, builds on each child’s strengths, interests and experiences in an intentional, trusting environment that fosters experimentation, learning, and respect.

Our highly experienced and credentialed faculty is committed to nurturing a sense of wonder and to discovering each child’s capabilities and ways of learning. This approach creates the foundation for provisioning the classroom and for curriculum planning. Play is understood as a child’s academic searching and an expression of intelligence and growth. Through the process of their engagement with play, and the project approach to learning - from inquiry, discussion, activity and reflection, to documentation - children can realize endless possibilities for discovering meaning and relationships. In order to achieve this, they are given time and space for exploration and further involvement. Each child is appreciated for his or her contributions to the process.

One-on-one, small group and whole class learning takes place within and beyond the walls of the school, incorporating the natural world and introducing children to broader social and environmental contexts. As they participate fully in their classroom community, children are encouraged to reflect on their work and to become thoughtful, active, and responsible learners.
