About

Who We Are

Roots Community School was founded by a group of passionate educators and parents who envisioned a school where children could thrive in every way—academically, socially, and emotionally. What began in 2017 as a small start-up in Chelan Valley has grown into a thriving preschool through 8th grade independent school, widely recognized for its innovative and student-centered approach.

Our mission is to provide an education that is joyful, rigorous, and connected to real life. At Roots, children learn through project-based experiences, multi-age classrooms, and hands-on exploration. This model challenges students academically while allowing them to develop confidence, creativity, and resilience. Every child is known, valued, and supported at their individual level, helping them grow into curious learners and compassionate leaders.

We are guided by four core values:

  • Curiosity

    Fostering a love of learning and discovery.

  • Creativity

    Encouraging innovation, imagination, and problem-solving.

  • Collaboration

    Building strong partnerships among students, teachers, and families.

  • Character

    Developing empathy, integrity, and responsibility.

The heart of Roots: our educators.
