Welcome to Ventana School.

Preschool + Elementary: Kindergarten through 5th Grade

At Ventana School, we believe in the infinite potential of the confident, curious child. 

Children’s questions and perspectives are honored every day as our teachers engage their wonder and creativity.

We approach education this way because it nurtures engaged, intellectually curious individuals who are prepared to define their own success and contribute to the world in truly original ways.

 

Our Approach

Preschool

Elementary

Ventana embraces the Reggio Emilia Approach, which focuses on nurturing confidence, curiosity, and collaboration.

Our preschool program encourages students to collaborate and explore big ideas through active exploration in their environments.

Our elementary program engages students in deeper exploration of ideas through a curriculum that integrates academic subjects and the arts.

 
 
Ventana was life-changing for my child. He received the love and structure to flourish and become his best self. At his middle school, he receives nothing but compliments about his self-awareness and his ability to communicate his emotions. We feel forever grateful to Ventana.
