Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning, but for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
-W.B. Yeats
Mission
The unyielding focus of Dynamic Micro School at Superstition Farm is to provide a powerful, student-centered learning environment that develops confident, healthy individuals who have a lifelong love of learning. Our view is that each learner possesses unique interests, abilities and his/her own leaning style that require a safe, comfortable place where children are empowered with knowledge, skills, compassion and a sense of responsibility for themselves and for others.
Vision
We are committed to helping students build the learning scaffolding they need to reach their full and healthy potential in life, by providing emotional support, giving well-planned, dynamic academic guidance and allowing the autonomy needed for students to pursue their interests and passions, while valuing each student both as a unique individual and as valuable member of a diverse community.
