THE EMBER & ROOT DIFFERENCE

Rooted in the belief that learning is most powerful when it’s chosen, Ember & Root blends structure with freedom, guidance with independence, and community with individuality.

Our Mission

To create an inclusive learning community where individuals are encouraged to embrace their unique strengths, skills, and interests and recognize and celebrate those things in others. Each session includes an invitation to explore a breadth of curated content, collaborate with mixed aged peers, and the opportunity to pursue personal goals in the context of community.

Our Core Beliefs

All children deserve to learn in a space where they are valued as they are.

We value, recognize, and celebrate diversity and strive to be inclusive and welcoming.

Children should be given space and time to grow in what is meaningful to them.

Behavior is communication and hold a soft structure in order to remain flexible to learners’ wants and needs.

OUR PROGRAMS
