ECS offers an educational experience that develops students into critical thinkers, thoughtful innovators, and well-rounded scholars.  We provide students the tools and educational foundation to become tomorrow’s global citizens. We don’t just teach; we strive to show students how their choices impact the world around them.

We value curriculum and culture equally.  Most schools have tunnel vision when it comes to program --it all revolves around curriculum choices.  Without a strong culture, however, even the best curricular programs will fail.  ECS partners authentic culture development with the educational experience.  Culture is the foundation for all the work we do.

We are rethinking what school “looks like.” We design spaces with students and educators, and create environments that reflect beauty, support health and wellness, and inspire creativity and engagement.

We are reinventing the profession.  ECS educators are facilitators, collaborators, and creative geniuses.  Instead of teaching to the test, ECS educators connect with students where they are, and inspire students to be extraordinary citizens of the world.  Along the way, ECS educators are changing the conversation about what it means to be a practitioner of education, and blazing the trail for a new excellence in the profession.

Our measures of success support the development of the whole child.  ECS knows that children are not defined by a number, or a word (would you want to be labeled “basic?”).  In fact, we are working to measure the various ways that students thrive in a learning environment.  Our educators are developing ways to gather data around student growth in academic areas, thinking and synthesizing, and socio-emotional.  ECS maintains the strong belief that ALL children can THRIVE.
