About Miquon
The Miquon School is an independent, coeducational elementary school using innovative, child-centered teaching practices grounded in our 90-year tradition of Progressive education.
Our student body is comprised of approximately 155 children in Preschool (age 3) through sixth grade. Classes are mixed-age groups, typically 16-20 children in size, and led by a co-teaching partnership. Time spent outside on our 9-acre campus — including wooded areas, fields, and a creek — is an integral part of every child’s Miquon experience. We value independent thinking, varied individual and collaborative approaches to learning, authentic assessment methods, and creative, child-focused approaches to curriculum development.
The Miquon School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation in the employment of staff, admission of students, granting of financial aid, or the administration of school policies. We are a community that is diverse along ethnic, economic, and religious lines, and we seek applicants who represent and broaden that diversity.
