School Overview

Kingfisher is a human-scale school that uses small class sizes and a family-friendly philosophy to encourage students to reach for their dreams. We ask kids to become aware of their talents and strengths and to use those strengths to bolster the areas that need work. We like kids to explore and we extol the virtues of curiosity. We are a peace school and we expect students to have compassion for one another and for others in the world.

Kingfisher Academy is an independently-run school designed for children from preschool through middle school. Our school is based on principles researched by Dr.Howard Gardner and from the educational programs developed in the city of Reggiomilia, Italy.

The mission of Kingfisher Academy is to ensure a broad academic foundation through an enriched learning environment, to create an educational model that promotes reform, and to provide a community resource through experiential learning, service projects, and outreach programs.

Vision

Our plan is for a butterfly attracting garden out front, for a fishpond, for a little herb garden, and for chickens are all about teaching the children about projects that we can do to make the earth and our own environment better, healthier, and more beautiful.
