The educator and philosopher John Dewey wrote, “education is not a preparation for life, but life itself.” While students move through their school years, grow, develop and mature, Dewey understood that we never graduate from learning. He believed that learning is not about preparing for a test, a grade, or a position - we are learners because it gives our lives meaning and purpose.

At Kazoo School, learning and teaching is more than the simple enjoyment of collecting and sharing facts; learning is an active experience for all members of our community. We are a school that values the hands-on opportunity to learn by doing; we see our students as able teachers and our adults as life-long students.

Since 1972, the Kazoo School has provided an environment where children are known, learning is valued, teachers provide personalized attention, class sizes are small, and achievement is consistently high.

I invite you to use our website to learn more about our history, mission, and practices. Welcome to the Kazoo School!
