Welcome

Dear Families,

We are excited that you are exploring Ventana School as a potential new home for your family. At Ventana, we embrace the Reggio Emilia Approach, which focuses on nurturing confidence, curiosity, and collaboration. Students’ ideas and perspectives are honored by teachers who use the children’s questions to deepen learning. As our expert educators navigate the space between students’ interests and academic and social-emotional needs, they create an environment where the wonder of learning thrives.

We understand that exploring independent schools can be a lot of work. My team and I are here to support you every step of the way. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our program and admissions process. You can sign up through Ravenna to attend admissions events, such as Open House and school tours, during the admissions season between September and January. At these events, you’ll have an opportunity to see our classrooms, meet our wonderful teachers, and experience the magic of the Reggio Emilia approach.

We are excited to partner with you as you search for the right school community for your family and look forward to getting to know you and your child through the admissions process. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email admissions@ventanaschool.org.

Warmly,

CJ Liu

Director of Enrollment Management
