Core Phase

Core Program Overview (Ages 0–8)

  “The goal of parents and teachers working with a child in Core Phase is to help him see that he has genius inside, that he is capable of great things, and that part of his goals in life should be about doing his best to improve and serve." 

- Oliver DeMille.

Core Phase is a special season of nurture and growth. During this time, children learn primarily through meaningful work and joyful play, using the tools of math, history, art, science, and literature to explore the world around them and begin developing habits of learning and service.
