About Miquon

Welcome friends,

We are so glad that you are here! As you learn more about The Miquon School, we hope that you get a sense of what we value most: compassion, challenge, curiosity, joy, and most importantly, being seen and known as a whole person.

 

I joined the Miquon community because I was drawn to its unique joy that comes from students playing in the beautiful outdoors; from connecting with friends, teachers, and staff, and from the adventure that comes from learning about one’s self, about each other, and about our community, large and small.

Students move through the campus with a sense of purpose and agency, even if that purpose is to curiously be open to an idea that they hadn’t considered before. They do not do this alone; our students are guided by staff and faculty who know and honor each student for who they are and what they bring to our community. And like true artisans, our teachers plan, craft and develop, with great intention, students’ experiences based on their astute understanding of the developmental needs of the children in their care. 

This is what we mean by being seen and known as a student and a person. The strong sense of self, nurtured by our teachers and in partnership with families, is what empowers our graduates to leave our campus with skills and a sense to do what is needed for the good of the community. 

We would love for you to visit us at Miquon, to play in our woods and creek, engage in deep conversation, solve problems, pursue your passions, and learn more about yourself.  Please feel free to contact admissions@miquon.org to plan a tour and learn more about our dynamic program.

Warmly,
Geetha Holdsworth
Principal / Head of School
