Our School Brands
Laurel Springs School
Laurel Springs School, the first online K–12 school in America, was founded in 1991 by educator Marilyn Mosley Gordanier. Born from a bold yet compassionate vision to change the way education worked, Laurel Springs was designed to be a learning environment that fit the student, not the other way around.
Flexibility, personal attention, and human connection would be the heartbeat of the experience.
Stratford School
Stratford School was founded in 1999 when it opened its first campus in Danville, CA with 34 students and nine team members. With only four classrooms and a small but talented group of educators, the school quickly grew.
With a vision of being one of the premiere schools in the Bay Area and a laser focus on delivering educational excellence within a safe and nurturing environment, we employ the best talent in the academic field.
BASIS Independent Schools
The BASIS Curriculum, established in 1998, was built by two educational visionaries who sought to provide an educational experience in the United States previously only found in the top performing education systems.
Our first two BASIS Independent campuses in Brooklyn, NY and San Jose, CA opened in 2014, and used the well-established BASIS Curriculum to propel their students forward in academic outcomes.
Chesterbrook Academy
Chesterbrook Academy was founded with the mission of creating a safe and nurturing space where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally through rigorous, student-centered learning.
Since 1985, we have served over 100,000 students. Today, Chesterbrook Academy serves children from 6 weeks old through 8th grade across Florida, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
LePort Montessori
LePort Montessori was founded by Dr. Peter LePort, a parent who wanted a better education for his children.
Dr. LePort created LePort Montessori as a place where children could learn to think for themselves, develop strong academic skills, and become independent. He believed that children should not just memorize facts. They should also understand what they are learning and know how to use the skills in real life.
Merryhill School
Merryhill School was founded in 1949 by Dorothy and Howard Tompkins. They opened the first Merryhill Country School in a church annex in downtown Sacramento, California. Their vision was to create not just a school, but a caring and nurturing place where parents could feel at ease leaving their young children.
They understood how hard it is to trust someone else with your child, so they made sure that each child felt safe, loved, and encouraged to grow.
