Escuela del Sol is an educational community rooted in the understanding of the interdependence of all life. We value diversity and encourage students of all ages to discover the role each plays in contributing to Community. A not-for-profit organization, Escuela is comprised of multiple elements, including Montessori Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School classrooms, and the Harwood Art Center, a community outreach program based in arts education and service.
As the school’s facilities and landscapes are renovated and improved, the campus is becoming an urban oasis, celebrating our history and future in an environment specially prepared to give voice to the core values embraced and promoted by our community. This includes areas for study, exploration, rest and reflection; areas appropriate in size and scope for young people and the adults who are there to provide guidance and learn alongside the children. The campus has areas for play, for gardening and urban farming, classrooms and studios, areas indoors and out to support the programs of both the school and its outreach through The Harwood Art Center.
