Passionate Learners.

What happens when 5th graders are given the opportunity to follow their curiosity?

The Proteus Project is a student-driven research and writing experience, and a meaningful milestone for our rising 6th Graders. Each student selects a topic that sparks their interest, explores it deeply, and creates a physical project to bring their learning to life during their culminating presentation.

This year’s topics included Manzanar and Japanese American incarceration, athletic nutrition before, during, and after competition, hairstyles through the ages, and so much more.

From curiosity to research to confident presentation, our 5th Graders impressed us with their creativity, depth of thinking, and ownership of their learning. We are so proud of them! ...

Opportunities to teach character, leadership, and community often come through the most meaningful kinds of programming.

This week, @wolftribeofficial and @apexprotectionproject visited Seven Arrows as the culmination of a multi year curriculum exploring wolves and the many ways their behavior mirrors our own. Through this work, students have studied how wolves build communities rooted in respect, trust, communication, and care for one another.

The rescued wolves’ visit to campus gave our students and teachers a powerful, unforgettable encounter and brought these lessons beautifully to life.

A reminder that leadership is not just about being in charge. It is about listening, earning trust, protecting the group, and knowing how we belong to something larger than ourselves.

Our 5th graders, together with our amazing art teacher and muralist Clinton Bopp @clintonbopp, created this stunning one-of-a-kind stand-up paddle board, beautifully designed with a marine theme and made right here at Seven Arrows.

This special piece will be heading to auction at our Spring Fundraiser, Here We Grow, where every bid supports Tuition Assistance and the programs that make our school so extraordinary.

One lucky bidder will take home a true Seven Arrows original.
With gratitude to our 5th graders, Clinton, and this incredible community for bringing this piece to life. ...

We had the honor of hosting @Malala Yousafzai at Seven Arrows, and watching her speak to our students about ethical leadership, ambition, and pursuing values-driven work. The questions our kids asked showed they’re already thinking like changemakers.

This tremendous opportunity came to us suddenly, bringing her vision and inspiration to our community.

Seven Arrows is proud to continue engaging with leaders from around the world with the aim of empowering our students to become actors in their own future, inspiring hope through action. ...

Our second graders are working with Mr. Chris on an exciting series about simple machines. This week, they built hydraulic crane models in collaborative groups. Students had different jobs within their groups, and they worked together to discover the physics and mechanics behind the engines that move and lift. The room had a palpable energy of wonder through this superb hands-on activity, brought to Seven Arrows by Mr. Chris.

Student learning is greatly enriched by the interests and passions that each teacher brings to the table. Fostering these projects spark kids’ curiosity, and create inspired, lifelong learning. ...

This morning at Kuyam, we were treated to something truly special! A live jazz performance and demonstration with guest musicians Felix Pollard on drums, Del Atkins on bass, Melvin “Maestro” Wellington Lightford III on piano, and our very own amazing music teacher Norma LaTuchie on flute.

Our kindergartners took the stage and sang ‘Take the A Train’ backed by this incredible band. Kids danced, grooved, and soaked in the magic of authentic jazz.

The musicians spoke about improvisation and how the freedom to create and go with the flow carries into every area of life. ...

Our kindergartners are traveling the world! As part of our Global Cultural History and multicultural curriculum, special guests join us to share stories, flags, foods, songs, and traditions from countries they are connected to through heritage or in other ways.

Our young explorers imagine boarding airplanes, stamping their passports as they go through customs. Hands-on crafts and conversation

We believe that learning about the world and the people in it is one of the most important things we can do for our youngest students. ...

Mind, Body and Soul!

Have a wonderful Spring Break everyone!

Here a few images of #Kuyam this morning, when we honored the dedication and effort of our students throughout the athletic season.

Also a closing presentation of mindfulness, ethical leadership projects, and all the academic programs that concluded this week.
After lunch, it was Athletics Day-time at the park! , which always brings the Seven Arrows community; parents, teachers and kids, out for fun, games, sunshine, and tire flipping relay races.

Now go enjoy a well-deserved spring break! Enjoy the beautiful weather!, Seven Arrows family. ...

Math is everywhere!
Happy Pi Day 3.14 ...

Our fifth graders have spent several weeks designing original math games, bringing together creativity, critical thinking, and mathematical thinking. Some even 3-D printed custom pieces to bring their designs to life. Finally, students showcased their games with each other! They got valuable feedback that they applied back to their games. So much fun!

We were also thrilled to welcome a parent who shared with the students a behind the scenes look into her job with Disney Parks, and how mathematics is part of her work. Our Upper School Math curriculum challenges students to see mathematics as a living tool for everyday life and professional practice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ...

This morning, Seven Arrows Elementary’s Lower School brought history to life in the most extraordinary way. Two and a half months of integrated research, speech writing, costume design, historical understanding, music, art and drama, all distilled into moments of pure magic. Tonight, the Upper School takes the stage.

This is the best example of our Integrated Experiential Learning Approach, the Masquerade Festival.

Each grade studies a different notable period in history. Then students choose a character to embody, research and write a report, design a historically accurate costume, create the costume with the help of parents at our sewing atelier, and distill the written report into a brief dramatic monologue that they will perform for the community. ...
