A School In Your Community
We offer a warm, creative environment where your children are treated as an individual and learn to fall in love with learning on top of a strong academic foundation.
At Imagination School, we celebrate diversity and strive to install integrity, compassion, and confidence in each student. We give each child support and encouragement to become his or her own unique self
Cultural
Cultural Activities are a specific extension of the language curriculum where children begin to acquire a sense of historical fact, classification of physical geography and an appreciation of cultural differences.
Practical Life
Practical Life is the study of self-help skills and focuses on the four major areas, Care of Self, Care of Environment, Grace and Courtesy, and Movement.
Sensorial
Sensorial uses a multi-sensory approach to education. Children are encouraged to learn by processing information gathered through the sen.
Math
Math continues the cognitive math development that began in the Practical Life Skills and Sensorial curriculum, taking an acute focus and more abstract thinking process with concrete materials.

"Imagination is a school unlike any I have found in the Tacoma area. "
"I love that students of all ages are together at certain times of the school day. This teaches the older ones to mentor and be patient and gives them a sense of responsibility for their younger classmates. They lead by example. The younger kids strive to achieve and conquer what the older students are accomplishing in class. I love that smaller class size allows teachers to work at each students pace."
- Heidi S. (Parent)
The Essentials
Our Mission
Inspiring a love of imagination and learning by letting students develop at their own pace in a nurturing environment.
At Imagination School, our mission is to nurture curious, confident, and compassionate learners through a creative, individualized education. With small class sizes, diverse learning approaches—including Montessori-inspired methods—and a focus on integrity and kindness, we help each child feel seen, supported, and challenged.
Our goal is simple: to spark a lifelong love of learning and empower every student to grow into their unique, authentic self.
Our Philosophy
At Imagination School, our belief is based on an African proverb, “It Takes A Whole Village to Raise a Child.” With this essential philosophy, our qualified teachers provide a motivating environment to expand the mind and explore the imagination of learning. We encourage and work with the parents in incorporating their home values with the value of education.
By working closely with parents, our school’s goal is to help students learn how to follow their curiosity, to think, and to work both independently and cooperatively with others. We encourage and help to develop each student’s inner creativity and talents and ultimately to use the gift of IMAGINATION.
Admissions
The process begins with your school tour to visit our school. Following your tour and meeting at our school we invite you to observe one of our classrooms for 30 minutes to see how our certified Montessori instructors interact with our students. You’ll notice how well the children interact and self-direct their activities, sharing with others and learning at their own pace.
