Silicon Valley Campus

To observe, to listen, and to reflect are key elements of the Reggio Emilia approach. Children are empowered to learn through their own experiences, and to construct their own theories, by themselves or in collaboration with their peers, based on their own observations. In our new campus in Silicon Valley, children spent a lot of time outdoors, observing the plants, the insects, the four elements such as water or wind, and the plays of light and shadow.

Parents participation is another key principle of the Reggio Emilia approach. During our learning experiences, the participation of our families took place throughout the school year. Families came to share about their traditions, to volunteer during learning experiences connected with the International Baccalaureate units, and to participate in our school projects. With the participation of every member of our community - children, families, staff, and friends - we made a “Campus Flag” that represents the heritage and culture of our founding class. Our small community has been growing rapidly and we are overjoyed for it!
