Who we are

ROOTS Academy grew organically out of a need for a community school that combines classically-inspired academic rigor with a comfortable, low-stress environment where students in the middle grades are allowed to be who they are—massively gifted, curious, goofy, brilliant kids.

Our goal is to guide students in the construction of context for the world we find ourselves in. We hope, through the introduction of challenging subject matter and the encouragement of intellectual curiosity, to lay the foundations—the roots—of cultural literacy, so that students can see clearly who they are and who they want to be.
