Our daily schedule reflects our understanding of how students learn and live best. Five hour-long class blocks allow for deep, patient academic engagement. Regular breaks allow for nourishing community experiences and restorative play.

Homework
The day is structured to afford students the time they need to engage deeply in the project of learning, working alone and together. Teachers assign only pertinent homework. Students may choose to work on long-term assignments on weekends; however, no routine homework is assigned on Fridays. In addition to the guidelines listed below, faculty may assign specific work to individual students to support their learning.
- PK and K: 10 minutes of reading
- Grade 1: 10 minutes of reading
- Grade 2: 20 minutes of reading
- Grade 3: 20 minutes of reading/10 minutes of math
- Grade 4: 20–30 minutes of reading/10–20 minutes of math
Because students work at different rates, these time allotments serve only as a general guide.
