celebrating 40 years of Creative Independent Education
Our Mission:
Swan School builds strong learners in an environment of academic excellence aligned with creativity and personal expression.
Swan School is a place where students are able to be themselves while also connecting with a strong community of engaged learners. Our student-centered curriculum is rooted deeply in experience and involvement. Project-based learning often takes children outside into the community and the natural world. Multi-age classrooms, small class sizes and a caring staff adapt to individual needs and interests, helping all students to reach their highest academic potential in a hands-on setting.
