Aurora School’s mission is to nurture children’s love of learning by cultivating academic excellence, emotional intelligence and social engagement. Since 1988, Aurora School has intentionally been teaching 21st-century skills such as collaboration, communication, empathy, critical thinking, and creative expression. The power of being a small school allows us to get to get to know our community intimately, forming strong working partnerships with parents and students alike. Being a smaller school, our students have the opportunity to get know themselves and each other as learners, contributing community members, and empowered and authentic human beings. We know that rich learning happens when a variety of ideas, opinions, strengths and challenges come together. We’re proud of our reputation as a school where students and families feel comfortable, supported, and included for who they are.Our students learn in multi-aged classrooms- K/1, 2/3 and 4/5 grade groupings by design. This mentor exchange leads to greater academic challenge and support, positive self-conception and encourages the inner leader in our students. The world needs leaders who are as heart smart as they are head smart, and that’s precisely how Aurora graduates are described when they go on to the schools of their choice.
