Celebrating Childhood from the Creek to the Classroom
At Miquon, we believe that childhood should be fun, and children should find joy in learning.
Learning by Doing
At Miquon, we believe children learn by doing. Projects and hands-on experiences are essential parts of our program that stimulate their desire to learn. Our children participate enthusiastically in meaningful work.
Cultivating a Love of Learning
At Miquon, we provide a rich environment and thoughtful structure that encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas, collaborate with others, and take an active role in their own learning.
Inspiring Children to Care
At Miquon, we believe children can be upstanders and agents of change. Fostering respect for differences and developing the skills to challenge racism, hate, and bigotry helps children to make positive contributions to the world.
Learning in the Natural World
At Miquon, we believe that the natural world is a place to learn. We treasure our unique environment. As part of a lesson or a source of playful revelation, nature weaves its way into every child’s experience.
Our Mission
A beacon of Progressive Education, Miquon celebrates childhood, cultivates a love of learning, and inspires children to advocate and care for themselves, each other, and the world.
Serving children ages 3 to 6th grade, The Miquon School is located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
