Mrs. Yocklin is excited to invite you to join us in Japan in spring 2026! Educational travel exposes students to new people, places, and cultures which in turn expands their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of themselves. That’s why I am thrilled to bring this opportunity to your family and our community.

Join me for an information session this Thursday, September 19th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Power Campus Student Union to find out more about this exciting trip and our travel partner EF Tours. Please RSVP below:

Higley Road Improvement Project

There is currently a road improvement project on Higley Road north of Elliot Road. See link below for more details. 

Please note, when there are accidents close to the school during the morning drop-off window, we do keep the morning entry period longer so students are not considered tardy and can quickly get to class. 

Montessori Market - Open for Business

We’re thrilled to announce that starting this Friday, the Montessori adolescent students will host a small market each week during lunch and recess as part of their microeconomy learning! They will sell fresh eggs from our chickens, popcorn, and handmade items like jewelry, bookmarks, and cards. Students are welcome to bring a bit of cash to explore and purchase goodies from the market during lunchtime or recess. We look forward to seeing your child at the market!
