Located in the Central Coast of California, we are fortunate to live in a rare, beautiful geography, ranking in the top ten for health and happiness in national surveys. Offering Preschool – 8th grade, we are a Member of WECAN and are in progress as a Registered Initiative of AWSNA. We are an energetic school with a creative, “can do” spirit.

• Fulfillment: We believe in the symbiosis between the wellbeing of our school and the wellbeing of our faculty and staff. Your personal fulfillment, life balance, and synchronicity of spirit matter.

• Support: A supported faculty is one piece in achieving the highest potential and fulfillment of both the individual and the school as a whole. We accomplish this through providing ample teacher development opportunities and in-house mentorship.

• Community: We are a thoughtful, caring community of faculty, administration, Board, and families that strives for open, respectful communication. We have fun together, take care of each other, and feel grateful for the blessed magic we enjoy.

• Quality of life: Because of the unique easy-going, high quality of life, California’s Central Coast is one of the most desirable areas in which to live. The natural beauty is legendary, the pace of life is tempered, and many modern stressors are kept at bay. The area has much to offer to outdoor enthusiasts (surfing, kayaking, hiking, biking, rock climbing, year-round gardening). Come join us in our Central Coast village!
