What Makes La Puerta Unique?
Learning at La Puerta School is characterized by a process of collaboration and a sense of family. Students are part of multi-age learning groups. They participate in hands-on activities and cooperative projects that are not only focused in their own classrooms but also extend out to the world and, where appropriate, involve the greater community in which they live. Students consider the entire school as an extended family.
The collaborative spirit of the school is enhanced by the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum which integrates the arts, sciences and agriculture into core learning areas. Creative, theme-based units combine elements of the performing and visual arts, sciences and agriculture for a well-rounded education that will support continued development of all students.
