Rooted in a progressive, child-centred curriculum and within the framework of the IB Programme, Sagebrook reimagines early education as a joyful and globally minded journey of discovery.
"At Sagebrook, we are shaping a community that believes in learning with purpose, in growing with empathy, and in celebrating the natural curiosity every child is born with," says Zoë L. Hauser, Head of School.
