Empowering Growth

At Cloud 9 Academy, preschool aged children are empowered to explore the world through meaningful connections. We embrace an emergent, project-based learning environment filled with opportunities for children to construct their knowledge and understanding. We engage the whole child in experiential learning enriched by intentional values, all while connecting families within the warm embrace of a diverse community.

Creating Global Citizens

“It’s our job to give children the language of our world; the language of math, science, environment, compassion, kindness, faith, the faith of other people, and everything that makes up the ultimate language of life.”

— The Rev’d Dr. Suzi Robertson, Founder of Cloud 9 Academy
