Magnolia School - Endowment Fund

The Magnolia School opened in August 1985 with seven students and two teachers. Since then we have grown to 55 -60 K-8 students with a staff of about 15. The school was founded on the idea that the natural inclination to learn that young children possess should be nurtured and allowed to flourish in a safe, caring environment. We believe children learn in different ways and at different rates. With one teacher for every 10 to 12 students, we can plan for each child’s interests, abilities and learning style. Students work individually, in small groups and as a whole group. Children of different ages and ability levels often work together and learn from each other. Our teachers demonstrate and encourage critical thinking, problem solving and creativity and provide a supportive atmosphere that allows students to develop strengths and overcome weaknesses.
