About Our School
The Angela Day School is a tuition free public charter school. We are a parent and teacher led holistic progressive education laboratory style school offering experiences in outdoor and farm based learning. Our vision for this school was born out of a desire to provide children with a warm and caring learning environment, reflective of the diversity of our community. We set out to design a school with an antiracist, holistic, and child centered curriculum to meet the needs of all children. We utilize progressive education principles as a framework, and add in the rich and varied experiences of humankind, to come up with a truly equitable and inclusive community school. Join us as we work to create the kind of school every child, regardless of ability, ethnicity, or socio-economic status should have access to and be able to attend. This is the education our children deserve.
