Roots & Wings
A Spanish Immersion Nature-Based Day School for K–6 Learners
At Roots & Wings Academy, children grow in every sense of the word. Our full-year K–6 program combines Spanish immersion, hands-on academics, and outdoor learning to help every child build a strong foundation for lifelong curiosity, confidence, and creativity.We believe education should feel like an adventure — rooted in nature, guided by wonder, and enriched by community.
Catalyzing the Growth of Global Citizens
Our Philosophy
We blend Waldorf and Reggio Emilia inspired teaching with a focus on science, agriculture, and the arts. Our days are filled with movement, exploration, and meaningful projects that nurture the mind, body, and heart.
Every student learns through doing — from tending the garden to exploring the sciences, discovering new languages, and expressing creativity through the arts.
