Important Announcement:
Permanent Closure
of Micha-el School

It is with great sadness that the Micha-el School College of Teachers and Board of Trustees announced on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 that due to multiple economic factors Micha-el School will be closing its doors for the very last time on June 14th, 2024.

We know this news comes with many emotions, and we feel them as well. A beautiful seed was planted 15 years ago. Many families, teachers, and alumni have blossomed here at Micha-el. We will continue to enjoy the remainder of the school year together, and we will all cherish the relationships that have grown here, for many years to come. 

With deep gratitude,

Micha-el School College of Teachers & Board of Trustees

Early Childhood Program

Micha-el School’s early childhood program is open to students who are 3.5 - 6 years old.  In the kindergarten years, children learn primarily through their own need to be active and their uncanny ability to imitate all that surrounds them. The teacher brings rhythmic activities in an atmosphere of beauty, warmth and harmony to nourish students’ blossoming, creative thinking upon which all future abstract thoughts are built.  Materials from nature, such as wood and stones, colored clothes and simple dolls provide stimulus for creative play which develops the imagination, concentration, coordination, language and a number of skills that will be gently called forth in the elementary years.


“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”

— Rudolf Steiner
