What We Do

We measure student success based on three indicators: academic achievement, quality of student work, and evidence of engagement. We believe all children thrive when their natural curiosity is engaged and we create learning experiences that capitalize on each student’s individual strengths.

At Shoemaker, we believe how and where children learn are just as important as what they learn.

Through hands-on instruction, excellent teachers, and real-world science, we are able to:

  • Spark curiosity
  • Encourage teamwork
  • Foster a spirit of adventure
  • Develop a love of nature

OUR MISSION
The mission of Joe Shoemaker School is to ensure that all children achieve academic and personal excellence, experience joy in learning, and use their individual and collective talents and passions to become citizen scholars who value themselves, others, and the environment.
