We will awaken and cultivate their curiosity, critical thinking skills, conscientious sportsmanship, independent learning, cultural intelligence, global values and collaborative creativity! Together we will explore and excavate your child’s full potential guided by cognitive science, while using programming and content based on human development. We look forward to many adventures with you and your family in the days, months and years ahead, so keep your compass heading set on Cottonwood School! Be sure to head our way on Sunday, August 18th at 2PM in the lunar Year of the Dragon, for a student/parent orientation and ice cream social. We will begin our travels through Asia in search of myths, legends and dragons on Monday, August 19! Dragon fire reminds us that “the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled” and Dr. Montessori emphasized that "The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown to grow under the flaming heat of imagination” so let the tall tales be told and the stories begin! The game, or is that the FLAME, is afoot!

FLAME ON MY FRIENDS,

Ms Trish Nickerson, Founder/Executive Director and the talented Faculty of Cottonwood School
