welcome from the head of school

Nothing is more professionally rewarding for me than sharing the joys and delights of the Saklan community and the Saklan education with newcomers and visitors. In that spirit, I want to welcome you and tell you how glad I am that you are visiting our colorful and comprehensive site today. On it you will find pictures and words depicting and demonstrating Saklan’s engaging, inspiring, and enriching education.

This is the school where small classes and a strong community ensure that each child is challenged and supported, by the teachers to be sure, but also by that child’s classmates in a culture of respect and responsibility.


This is a wonderful place to be educated as a child, and to be cared for and connected with as an adult and family. It isn’t for everyone: it cannot be, we are only a small school, and make a virtue of our smallness.  But if you think that a school that has the highest standards of academic excellence, the smallest classes, and the strongest community might be for you, please contact us to visit the campus itself. 

Enjoy your electronic tour.

Jonathan E. Martin,

Head of School
