Aguamarina combines academic excellence with meaningful learning experiences that help children develop confidence, critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and the executive function skills needed to become independent, organized, and self directed learners. Our students are challenged to reach their full potential while feeling known, supported, and inspired every day.
Families choose Aguamarina because they want an education with purpose.
Here, learning goes far beyond memorizing information. Children are encouraged to question, explore, create, and make meaningful connections with the world around them. As a small school community, every child is truly known, seen, and valued for who they are, while being challenged to reach their full potential. Alongside strong academics, students develop confidence, character, empathy, and the values that will guide them throughout life. Just as importantly, families become part of a warm and supportive community that enriches the educational journey.
At Aguamarina, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, confident, and connected. Social-emotional learning is integrated into everyday school life, helping students develop empathy, resilience, self-awareness, communication, and problem-solving skills. Our school counselor works alongside teachers and families to support students' emotional well-being, strengthen classroom communities, and help every child grow both academically and personally.
Learning at Aguamarina extends beyond traditional academics. Through programs such as Young Entrepreneurship, environmental initiatives, public speaking opportunities, leadership experiences, and project-based learning, students develop the confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive in the real world.
Through our partnership with the ICA Museum, students experience art in a unique and meaningful way. Rather than learning about art only in the classroom, they regularly visit the museum and participate in art lessons surrounded by world-class exhibitions. These experiences help children develop creativity, observation skills, critical thinking, empathy, and an appreciation for different perspectives and cultures. By interacting directly with art from an early age, students learn to express themselves, think deeply, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
Absolutely. We believe some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom. Our field trips are carefully selected to enrich classroom learning, connect students with real-world experiences, and inspire curiosity and discovery. Over the years, students have visited organizations and destinations such as NASA, Amazon, Dolce & Gabbana, and Washington, D.C., among many others, gaining firsthand experiences that bring learning to life.
Aguamarina provides a safe, secure, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. Our campus features controlled access, secure entry systems, surveillance cameras, a dedicated on-site security guard during school hours, and comprehensive safety protocols. The campus itself was thoughtfully designed with safety in mind, creating secure and well- supervised spaces that support both learning and well-being. We continuously review our procedures and provide ongoing staff training to maintain the highest standards of safety and care for every child.
We believe strong partnerships with families are essential. Parents receive regular communication regarding academic progress, classroom activities, school events, and important updates. We value open communication and our team is always available to answer questions and support families throughout the school year.
Families are at the heart of Aguamarina. Throughout the year, parents are invited to participate in special events, student presentations, celebrations, field trips, and community gatherings. These shared experiences create meaningful connections among families, students, and teachers, fostering a strong sense of belonging. Many families often say that once you become part of Aguamarina, you are always part of Aguamarina.
Every aspect of Aguamarina is intentional. Our leadership team meets regularly to review goals, student outcomes, and school initiatives. Teachers participate in ongoing professional development, planning days, coaching, and collaborative training throughout the year. We believe exceptional schools are built through continuous learning, reflection, and a commitment to excellence.
