Overview
SunCoast School, was founded in 1984, to be affordable to all who wish to attend.
SunCoast is a small independent school serving students from age three through the 8th grade.
SunCoast offers an affordable, high quality educational experience with an emphasis on a sense of belonging and academic achievement.
Students at SunCoast are able to excel beyond grade level barriers without pull- out "special" programs.
Excellence is encouraged. In addition, students who need additional time to acquire certain skills are well served at SunCoast, since all students are placed by ability, in multi-age groupings.
These students are given the opportunity to learn in their own time without worries which often makes learning a chore, and obstacles feel insurmountable.
The Willow School offers a world-class education to children in Kindergarten through grade 8.
This cutting edge curriculum is academically rigorous while encouraging personal responsibility for one's own learning and thinking.
The project-based program interweaves hands-on activities, projects, technology, community service and environmental awareness.
Our relaxed, yet academically challenging approach provides Willow School's students with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to succeed in any college prep high school.
