Community programs
A community of
experiential learning
The School of Quintessence is more than a school—it’s a vibrant, connected community where learning and life come together. Educators, parents, students, alumni, and friends gather to support one another, share inspiration, and build something meaningful through curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
Get involved
School of Quintessence relies on the generous support and collaboration of parents and community members. Through volunteer engagement, our students have access to unique and enriching programs.
Teach specialty classes
Share your cultural knowledge and skills with the School of Quintessence students. Volunteers have taught classes such as Filipino dance, African folklore, hip hop, and woodworking.
Support festival life
Support students in their developmental cycles by planning and attending festivals, the significant moments of gathering during the school year.
Join the collective
The curricular, social, and emotional development of students is rooted in supporting our teachers. Join our collective of parents and school leaders in the structuring and developing of school activities so our students can thrive.
Grown-ups are learners too
School of Quintessence is dedicated to the continued growth and learning of everyone—including our community of adults. Open to the public and taught by community members, we offer classes and events that feed and nurture all of us.
Community Outreach
We cultivate partnerships rooted in shared purpose, care, and a sense of deep interconnectedness. Our students are encouraged to reach beyond the bounds of our school, bringing their light into the wider world. Through these meaningful connections, they grow in confidence, compassion, and a rich understanding of themselves and others.
