The Seven Arrows core mission is to teach and promote passion for learning, academic excellence, and a commitment to local and global communities. Seven Arrows and its staff will support and encourage the development of competent, disciplined, critical, creative, respectful, and ethical human beings in an environment that celebrates each child’s innate abilities and challenges her or his personal potential.

Seven Arrows Elementary School provides the distinct academic and social advantages of a small school environment, and a rigorous academic education with a broad world-view. With two teachers and a maximum size of eighteen students per class, Seven Arrows students belong to an intimate, cohesive community that nourishes critical thinking, tailors instruction to the individual, creates leadership opportunities, and develops strong values in partnership with families.

These school traditions spark interest in the world, foster teamwork and aim to equip each student to become an innovative and effective contributor to the global community.
