“The school is so focused on engaging students in so many aspects of learning—in ways that reach beyond simple quantitative measurements. Unquowa’s academic rigor is itself first-rate, but what’s so impressive, I think, is how that rigor never loses sight of the beauty of learning, the joy of being with others and discovering, making the unfolding of what was unknown—perhaps even unthinkable just a few seconds ago—a kind of artful work in progress.”

“This is the school I wish I’d been able to go to as a kid. We feel so lucky to have found it for our daughter.”

“We have been a part of the Unquowa community for 12 years. During that time our children have grown from toddlers to young adults in an educational environment that is supportive, challenging, and, most of all, empowering.”
