Important Messages

Leaves of Learning (Leaves) is an innovative educational program for students ages 3-18. Since 1997 we have offered families a unique education option that nurtures students’ development, encourages respect for others, and fosters students’ ability to observe, question, evaluate, and make decisions.

Our program provides the opportunity for students to grow as individuals, at their own pace, in an environment that accepts them for who they are. We provide an environment of trust, cooperation, and mutual respect where students interact with enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring facilitators in a warm, respectful environment.

Our Teachers

At Leaves of Learning, our teachers are pivotal to the success of our program. We hire knowledgeable teachers who are passionate about their subjects, teach in a hands-on way, and love and respect our children.

Our Philosophy

We believe that learning is a lifelong gift that continues to expand and enrich our lives. We connect class subject matter to their lives in real and meaningful ways. We aspire to light the spark that will ignite into flames of passion for learning.

"Leaves of Learning was the best decision I have made. It fits me so well and gives me more time to do what I am passionate about. A lot of people ask me what Leaves of Learning is, and I have only one answer--“it’s home.” I have met some of the nicest kids here, and I love how the school isn’t divided between grades. I love that I see teenagers greeting seven-year-olds everyday!"

"For the most part I’m a little shy, but Leaves has enabled me to be more social than I have been in a long time. Another reason I think this school is right for me is the challenging work, but at the same time, we cover interesting subjects that I may or may not be familiar with yet. For the familiar ones I can have the chance to share what I know with my fellow students and teachers and sometimes shock them with the depth of knowledge I didn’t think I had. The other times, I get the chance to learn vast amounts of things the teachers cover and, every once in a while, I get inspired to dig deeper."
Josh T.Student
"Leaves of Learning is very important to me because the teachers help me achieve my goals and also help me get ready for college."
Nohemi M.Student
"What makes your school a good fit? Everybody at Leaves makes it a special place. Everyone knows that we all deserve to be treated with respect, and that is what they act upon--treating everybody equally. No one should be looked down upon. Everybody here is equal."
Ethan C.Student
"Leaves is awesome because you can be yourself, and you don’t have to worry about fitting in because you will always be accepted. Newcomers are welcomed and are always lent a hand by other kids. That’s why LOL is one of my favorite places."
Brianna C.Student
"Some of the other amazing things that I love about Leaves of Learning include:
• Students are accepted for who they are, where they are.
• There is the opportunity to be trustworthy and responsible through freedom.
• Excellent teachers who love what they do and love the students.
• Later starting times so the students (especially teens) are fully awake. Usually.
• Accessible teachers and administration who are always there for students and parents."
Jennifer M.Parent
"I feel like Leaves of Learning is the best thing that ever happened to me. There are no bullies at Leaves of Learning. It is very exciting. There is only one rule at Leaves, and that is respect. I can’t figure out what class I like the best because they’re all fun."
Matthew H.Student
"Sometimes my teachers sing and dance, but not because they’re in theatre, but because it is just fun. The glitter and the markers are not just in the art room, they’re located in every class."
Ean H.Student
"The small classes give you one-on-one attention from the teacher, so you never have to worry about falling behind or being held back a grade."
Karyn K.Student
"I always thought that I had to be a scientist, mathematician, or teacher of some kind. Even though it’s great if someone ends up becoming one of those, none of them really appealed to me. Now that I’m at Leaves of Learning, the possibilities are endless, and Leaves of Learning really taught me that."
