Elementary School
At Centner Academy learning is authentic, complex, and intellectually engaging. Students do real work as authors, artists, inventors, explorers, athletes, and mathematicians. Giving students choice, autonomy, and high expectations for growth, we harness intrinsic motivation as the engine for academic excellence. Our academics are fueled by a strong foundation and emphasis on mindfulness and emotional intelligence.
Through an interdisciplinary and inquiry-based program, students discover and master foundational skills in academic disciplines while learning to grapple with the unknown, embrace multiple perspectives, and create innovative solutions.
Students explicitly develop social and emotional skills that promote self-confidence, emotional intelligence, positive communication, and collaboration.
Our students are empowered to be themselves, to embrace learning fully and to contribute to the community as stewards and changemakers. We believe empathetic citizens change the world.

Our elementary schoolers participate in Science Fair, Earth Day Events, History & Literature Projects, Math World Wide Competitions, and Marketplace Entrepreneurship to help them learn in the real world, not just in classrooms.
