The Sojourner school mission is to recognize and develop all intelligences of students from varied backgrounds to their fullest intellectual, social and emotional potential.

Sojourner Philosophy

Sojourner believes that education must be comprehensive; addressing the development of the whole child: the intellectual, physical, ethical, and emotional. We recognize that all children are unique individuals requiring unique learning plans.

To accommodate the varied needs, learning rates, and profiles of students, Sojourner has developed a comprehensive educational program. Sojourner also provides diverse learning opportunities through a variety of instructional models to foster understanding of our self and our world. Students are offered opportunities to build upon strengths to develop all other areas and to initiate influence and responsibility in their own educational development plans.

The Arts-Based Elementary School is committed to active and creative scholarly exploration that engages students, their family/community and all school personnel in the learning experience. A strong core curriculum that builds on students’ life experiences and multiple ways of knowing/learning will be realized through individualized and intimate integrated interdisciplinary, arts-based instruction.
