“Above all else, a good school should be a good place for people to be. It should exemplify qualities of human interaction that we would wish for people everywhere" -Dr. Newt Hodgson, Paideia Self Study
Athletics

We want our students to engage fully in athletics. We want them to take a risk, try a new sport, discover their strengths, and experience the highs and lows of competition.
Campus Life
Campus Life
The culture of teaching and learning at Paideia is both personal and individualized. We strive to greet and teach each child personally, understand children individually and encourage them to develop mindful of their own relative strengths and weaknesses, interests and dispositions.
Parents

"Paideia is a school where parent involvement is necessary and encouraged. But don't just sign up and wait for an email. Be proactive. Attend that first meeting. Introduce yourself and offer to help."
Support Paideia
Support
Paideia has thrived because of a generosity of thousands of people over four decades. Our future will continue to depend on that generosity.
