We Believe In...

The Library as a Prepared Environment. We believe the library is an extension of the classroom—a calm, beautiful, and accessible space that respects the child as a capable learner. The environment itself is a teacher, intentionally designed to spark interest, encourage responsibility, and empower independent exploration.

Reading as a Joyful Discovery. We are dedicated to nurturing an intrinsic love for stories and information. Moving beyond prescribed reading levels, we honor individual choice, helping each child find mirrors to see themselves and windows to understand the world within our diverse and inclusive collection.

Following the Child's Curiosity. We empower students to ask big questions and seek their own answers. We serve as guides, providing the tools and skills needed to navigate the world of information ethically and effectively, transforming curiosity into knowledge.

Connecting to the Whole. We curate a dynamic collection of resources that helps students understand the interconnectedness of all things—from science and history to art and culture. Our library directly supports the Montessori “Cosmic Education” by providing materials that illustrate the grand story of our universe.

Learning Through Doing. We provide opportunities for hands-on, multi-sensory engagement with information. Our library is a space not just for consumption but for creation, where students can build, design, collaborate, and express their understanding in multiple forms.

An Inclusive Community Hub. We are committed to building a welcoming heart for our school where every student, family, and educator feels seen, valued, and respected. We ensure equitable access to resources and a collection that reflects the rich diversity of our community and the world.
