About Millennium School
Millennium is an innovation lab for whole-self development. Our aim is to re-imagine middle school for the 21st century.

Instead of seeing the middle school years as "awkward" and "difficult," we think they're the most important years to prepare students for the path to happy and successful adulthood.

We've built a team of leading educators, researchers, and adolescent developmental psychologists, and together we're designing a new model for middle school:

one that combines highly engaging and experiential academics with an approach that is social, personal, and rooted in the real world.

Bold Dedication to Whole-Self Development, Mindful Awareness, and Social Emotional Learning
At Millennium, we believe that the Inner World of an individual is just as important as the Outer World. We embrace this exploration boldly.

Most traditional education involves teaching important facts, skills and concepts, yet often overlooks the focused development of our true unique and authentic selves.

Ironically, research consistently indicates that it is exactly this focus during adolescence that cultivates a foundation for greater self-awareness, well-being, and success later in life.

At Millennium, we engage students in significant self-reflection and social-emotional development each day, leveraging research
- based practices within a safe and inclusive environment. The key to our developmental model is the role of the "Guide" (teachers). Millennium Guides do more than "Teach" content; they also serve as mentors for our students. By actively embodying their own humanistic, spiritually-grounded (secular), mindful wellbeing, Guides serve as models and coaches for students, individually and as a collective group of educators.


Practiced commitment to Social Justice & Equity
At Millennium, we celebrate diversity as a portal to ourselves and a peaceful global community. We know that it takes commitment and prioritization to offset systems of oppression and implicit bias. We are committed to becoming a fully anti-racist multicultural organization that is helping to transform society.

This means we are constantly learning about systemic, cultural, and personal barriers to equity in diversity, and creating structures of accountability that disrupt and uplift.
