What makes Zaharis Elementary unique?

At Zaharis, we read and write for authentic purposes. We help children to look at the world through the lens of mathematicians, scientists, and social scientists. We plug our learning into the world where it makes a difference. We create, construct, and interrogate. We question, research, and discover. We ask, “Why?” We ask, “Why not?” We critique, analyze, and take risks. We support each other. We nurture our curriculum of caring. We embrace the notion that the world is our classroom and it’s our responsibility to make it a better place.

We create curriculum. We awaken the hearts of children. Children awaken the hearts of their teachers. We celebrate when a child makes a new discovery. We celebrate when a teacher makes a new discovery. We hope. And together, as the marker declares as one enters our community of learning, we build our dreams.
