Our Mission

To spark the imagination, intellect, and community spirit of children in order to carry the joys of learning and social involvement well beyond the classroom.

The aim of the school is to provide a safe, secure, and happy student-oriented program, individualized to meet the needs of each student.  The goal is for each student to develop a positive self-image along with strong academic and social skills, which are the foundations of a life-long learner.

Our Philosophy

Our school is founded on a respect for children. We believe that it is not only our small class size and personalized instruction, but also the size of the school itself that promotes optimum learning and a sense of community. At the heart of everything we do at Matheia are the children - their needs, their dreams, their learning, and their joy.

Education Strategy

Matheia uses a specialist approach. We have math, science, art, social studies and writing teachers. This allows your child to be taught by someone whom is incredibly passionate about their subject every day.

Because reading is essential to all disciplines, all of our students begin their day in Reading groups. They then proceed to daily Art, Math, Science, Social Studies and Language Arts classes. Our curriculum also includes physical education, outdoor education, technology, music, dance, cooking, and foreign-language experiences.

Our teachers' enthusiasm for their chosen subjects is contagious; Matheia School is a place where children can experience the joy of learning. Our approach is child-centered, with the emphasis on hands-on participatory activities.

History

Christina DeVita and Allison Soules founded Matheia in 1994 as a non-profit, state-approved school in which children could develop a positive self-image, along with strong academic and social skills. Matheia now enrolls 35-50 students and represents the kind of small school environment highly praised by educators. The mixed-age classes of about 10 students allow children to forge friendships with those both older and younger than themselves.
