The Saklan School is where 3-year-old through 8th-grade students grow into people who think creatively, act compassionately, and live courageously. It is a place where hands-on, Project Based Learning inspires authentic curiosity; where strong academics instill high personal standards; where supportive teachers create meaningful connections; and where real-world experiences foster courage and build confidence. If your child is ready to take risks, collaborate, ask big questions, and become a confident problem solver, then we invite you to join us for a tour of The Saklan School.
