Organizations Filed Purposes: TO FOSTER A RICH LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT EMBODIES THE ESSENCE OF COMMUNITY, UNDERSTANDING, AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT. GROUNDED IN HUMBLE RESPECT FOR OUR SURROUNDINGS, THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THE WORLD AS A WHOLE, WE SEEK TO ENGAGE THE UNIQUE PASSIONS AND APTITUDES OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY SO THAT IN ADDITION TO ACHIEVING ACADEMIC FLUENCY, STUDENTS BECOME THOUGHTFUL, COMPASSIONATE, AND ENGAGED.

OPERATION OF A CHARTER SCHOOL GRADES K-8.

FERNLEAF'S PROGRAMS BALANCE TRADITIONAL ACADEMICS WITH SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING, ARTS, SERVICE LEARNING/STEWARDSHIP, ENVIRONMENTAL/OUTDOOR EDUCATION, CULTURAL AWARENESS, AND COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS. THE SUCCESS OF FERNLEAF'S ENGAGING, STUDENT-CENTERED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IN ADDITION TO OUR COMMITMENT TO A POSITIVE AND HEALTHY SCHOOL CULTURE IS EVIDENCED BY OUR MINIMAL STAFF AND STUDENT TURNOVER AND EXTENSIVE WAIT- LISTS. IT IS ALSO NOTABLE THAT FERNLEAF HAS A HIGHLY REGARDED EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN'S PROGRAM AND INTERVENTION TEAM WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE UNIQUE LEARNING NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS. FERNLEAF OFFERS A VARIETY OF DAILY ENRICHMENT CLASSES AND AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THE EXPLORATION OF THEIR UNIQUE PASSIONS AND APTITUDES. DAILY ENRICHMENT CLASSES INCLUDE SPANISH, WILDERNESS SURVIVAL SKILLS, COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP, PHYSICAL FITNESS, INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, THEATER, GENERAL MUSIC, VISUAL ARTS, OUTDOOR/ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, AND ARCHERY. AFTER SCHOOL OFFERINGS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF SPORTS, PHYSICAL FITNESS, FOREIGN LANGUAGE, STEM, INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, AND THEATER CLASSES. OFF-CAMPUS, FIELDWORK TRIPS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD COMMUNITY WHILE ALSO GIVING STUDENTS ACCESS TO RICH AND MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES THAT SUPPORT THEIR EDUCATION AND ENRICH THEIR LIVES. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A MINIMUM OF 8 FIELDWORK EXPERIENCES PER YEAR WHICH INCLUDE AT A MINIMUM, AN OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE, A PROFESSIONAL ARTS PERFORMANCE, A SERVICE PROJECT, A STUDENT- DESIGNED TRIP, AND AN OVERNIGHT.
