      I am fortunate to have both of my children attend this incredible school. As soon as you step on campus you feel you are in a special place. The teachers are truly engaged with each child. Our family loves that Rainbow helps the whole child develop- emotionally, physically, artistically and academically. I fully recommend taking a tour of this exceptional school!

      I feel absolutely blessed to part of this incredible community. This is much more than just an high quality school for kids that supports the development of the whole child. It is also a strong, caring, compassionate, and loving community. What a gift!
      The environment they’re cultivated on campus is fun, interesting, and welcoming. The 7 domains model is amazing and super inspiring!
       I wish everyone had access to “education” like this - it’s so much more than traditional education!
      Everyone from the Board to the preschoolers is immersed in a community that focuses on spiritual principles, connection to each other, to self, and to nature, intellectual rigor, emotional intelligence, exploration, integrity, belonging, service... the list goes on and on.
      I’m so grateful every time I’m on campus or even just getting a Rainbow email!!
