Open Quote Small class sizes, incredible teachers, and lots of time to play. The vibe of the school is inspired and focused. The kids get so much done each day without rewards, competition, iPad apps, or stress. No homework. And yet, they’re academically thriving.

Tru is a teacher-owned, teacher-led school that pays detailed attention to the interests of the kids and masterfully infuses learning into those interests and vice versa. The school plays are written to reflect the emergent curiosities of the kids in perpetually changing and thus ever-relevant annual themes.

Distractions are brilliantly managed and math and writing are given long blocks of work time to encourage focused attention. The mindfulness practices, thoughtful child-centric routines, and school rituals that often involve yoga and singing contribute to a sense of intention and community connection. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
