Aurora School

Aurora School's mission is to nurture children's love of learning by cultivating academic excellence, emotional intelligence, and social engagement.

At Aurora School, we believe that academic excellence is best achieved in an environment where students feel confident and supported. We employ social-emotional learning throughout our curriculum to cultivate self-awareness, relationship skills, problem-solving abilities, and responsible decision-making.

Aurora students learn in multi-grade classrooms, where grades K/1, 2/3, 4/5, and 6-8 share learning spaces. Older students serve as mentors to their younger classmates, who become mentors themselves the following year. Students form friendships beyond their age group, and teachers support learning at all levels.

Our optimal student:teacher ratio (1:8) ensures that everyone has a voice, and strong relationships between students and teachers enhance motivation and promote learning.  In addition to STEM and humanities, Aurora students take classes in art, music, Spanish, woodshop and physical education in the indoor and outdoor spaces of our campus in Upper Rockridge.

Academic excellence, joy of learning, inclusivity, and a commitment to social justice are at the heart of our school culture. Visit our website to learn more, or contact us to schedule a tour. Flexible tuition is available.
