Sacred Mission. Big Vision.
At Rainbow Community School, we are passionate about providing a holistic education that nurtures the whole child - intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. For over 40 years, we have been a national leader in holistically educating preschool through middle school-aged children. Our school is proud to offer a unique and innovative educational program that draws from the best in current educational thinking and holistic models of child development.
Our Story
Our journey began in the 1970s when a group of educators and parents came together to create a school that would focus on the whole child. We believed that by fostering a sense of community, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship, we could help our students grow into compassionate, thoughtful, and intelligent individuals. Today, our school is recognized nationally as a leader in contemplative and mindfulness education.
Our Philosophy
Our educational philosophy is centered around the concept of the Seven Domains, which comprises seven interconnected domains: cognitive, affective, social-emotional, moral, creative, physical, and spiritual. We believe that by engaging with these domains, our students will develop the skills and qualities necessary to become confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals. Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity through experiential, place-based, and relevant thematic units of study. Students are active participants in shaping their own educational journey.
Our Programs
Our educational programs are designed to cater to the unique needs and interests of our students. Our Omega Middle School is a vital part of our educational program, providing a nurturing environment for students in grades 6-8. Our program builds upon the Seven Domains model, with a focus on social-emotional learning, problem-solving, and community engagement. Our students graduate with the skills and confidence to succeed in high school and beyond.
