FAMILIES EVERYWHERE ARE LOOKING FOR A FRESH EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Traditional public school is no longer the best fit for every family or child. ​
Kids need more movement, time outside, and free play. Parents are looking for a school where a child can grow at their own pace and get individualized instruction in a nurturing, loving environment.
At Petrichor, instead of sending home hours of homework each night, family time is prioritized and school work is completed at school. Curriculum and instruction are based on research best practices, not on trends or government decisions.
​
Here, kids can be kids.
WHAT IS PETRICHOR?
Petrichor School was born out of a vision to create a place for children to be empowered + equipped for the life for which God has created them. It exists to build a nurturing + exciting place for students to thrive as individuals and within the classroom community. Gone are the days of teaching to the test or simply memorizing materials. At Petrichor, students are deeply known, and the curriculum is curated to best meet their needs + interests.
​
We are open for full time enrollment grades K-5th for the 2023-2024 school year. Placements for older grades will be available as needed.

community
At Petrichor, you're not alone in your parenting journey. We will have regular family events to help connect like-minded families, encourage one another, and lean into our special community.
We are beyond happy with our decision to move our daughter to Petrichor! It is the perfect mix between homeschool and traditional schooling. We have seen major improvements in her mood in the evenings and she is always eager to go to school in the mornings. The teacher's credentials are outstanding, they communicate with us regularly, and they provide a safe environment for our daughter to learn and grow. The kiddos get lots of outside time, which we LOVE!
...we are not on Earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others...
