Small Cohort Advantage & Support
Maximum 15 Students Per Cohort
Every debut known personally
No one falls through cracks
Differentiated instruction daily
Individual conferences regularly
Peer relationships carefully cultivated
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Our Founding Families
September 2025 marks our beginning. Founding families don't just enroll — they build. Your input shapes policies. Your participation creates culture. Your success proves the model. This year and next are our test run years! Our goal is eventually to be more than an enticement program, but a fully functioning independent school program with partnerships and staff. Currently we are a group of families working together and our headmaster is our leaders, and our admin group is unpaid and ready to inspire! They have their own credentials, their own careers. We hope this program will be a legacy we leave, making Moses Lake and other communities a better place. Space is limited. The opportunity is extraordinary.
