Nurturing the heart and mind in equal measure
Explore Our Programs
Many schools rely on screens and standardized curriculum.
Is spending too much time learning on a screen?
Isn’t developing the thinking skills they'll need for future success?
Has limited freedom to move their body during the school day?
Rarely gets opportunities to connect with the natural world?
Feels disengaged from learning and lost in a one-size-fits-all approach?
Do you wonder if your child:
We believe every child deserves an education that nourishes their mind, body, and spirit.
Think Critically
Strengthen the capacity to imagine, create, and solve complex problems.
Connect Deeply
Experience the richness of the natural world and understand our place within it.
Be Compassionate Stewards
Grow into mindful, empathetic individuals equipped to make a positive impact on our communities and the planet.
Our approach at Swallowtail
is unique:
We meet students where they're at, recognizing each child's individual path of development.
We provide a screen-free learning environment, fostering hands-on learning and helping children thrive without the anxiety that often accompanies excessive screen time.
Our students spend significant time outdoors, including on a working farm, fostering a deep understanding of nature and a balanced foundation for lifelong learning and well-being.
We prioritize strong community relationships, providing rich opportunities for families to connect through parent education, farm festivals and shared traditions.

“The teachers focus on curriculum AND character, providing education for the whole child."
"Swallowtail was not a school that I had initially thought of for my children. After looking around our area, I am so glad we took a tour and took the time to meet with the staff at school. The teachers are wonderful! They provide regular updates on class activities and are always available for 1:1 discussion with parents/families. My children are engaged in school and love it. Swallowtail also has a farm campus that provides a different type of learning environment that the kids love. The smaller class sizes allow for more individual interactions between the teachers and students. There is also a lot of interaction between the grades. My first grader has an 8th grade buddy she absolutely adores. My 5th grader has a 2nd grade buddy that she meets with and reads with. It is such a wonderful environment! I can't imagine my kids anywhere else."

"The teachers and school leadership create a welcoming environment for our preschooler and we feel like our son gets the attention he needs to thrive. We have seen so many positive changes in him since starting preschool at Swallowtail; we love hearing him sing all the songs he learns, show us his crafts, and tell us stories about his adventures with new friends."
