Where Students are Co-Architects of Their Education
Dear Families,
What does it mean to cultivate the curiosities of gifted children? At The Logan School, it means students think as individuals who learn in a collaborative and compassionate community. It means students create spaces that encourage exploration and emphasize experiential learning. Logan students are critical thinkers and problem-solvers. They lean into curiosity through research, reasoning and recording. The Logan School is more than just a school—it’s a dynamic community.
At Logan, we understand the importance of having a supportive community which nurtures gifted students' well-being. Our school is a place where students are seen, understood, appreciated, and celebrated. We foster an inclusive environment, where students can connect with like-minded peers, form lasting friendships, and thrive in a community that celebrates their unique abilities.
Has your child ever asked a question that invoked even more questions? Has your child shared complex ideas and built upon their ideas with bigger questions that perhaps you could not answer? Logan students are driven by their innate curiosities and build upon their thinking by diving deeper into their self-selected Unit of Study.
In order to find the answers to the questions guiding the research of their Units, students visit places like a biometrics or machine learning lab, a glass blowing studio, and a local bakery, as well as local museums and universities. They interview experts, engage in hands-on learning, as their learning consistently moves beyond the traditional classroom.
We believe that education is a partnership between the school, parents, students, and guardians. We value open and transparent communication, fostering a strong connection between home and school. We actively involve parents in their child's education through regular updates, student/teacher/parent/guardian conferences, workshops, and whole community experiences. Together, we work towards maximizing each student's potential. We understand gifted children, and we understand how they learn and interact with the world.
For more than thirty years, Logan has offered an education like no other. If you are interested in giving your child this unique learning environment, I invite you to come for a student-led tour and get to know us. We hope you are excited about the possibility of having your child learn in an environment where there is infinite curiosity and the learning experience is boundless!

"Logan is an amazing setting for children to learn. They foster independent learning as much as teamwork... The school has the feeling of being one big family, from the families to the administration to the teachers."

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by “gifted”?
Giftedness is how our students experience the world; it is how they ask questions, make connections and wonder about the world around them. Sometimes their cognitive and emotional makeup don’t match with their chronological age. Logan is a school that helps gifted students understand their unique learning profiles. Children need to know themselves intellectually, socially and emotionally. We help them build the skills to communicate their unique ideas and experiences to the world.

Why a school for gifted children?
Giftedness is not part-time for Logan students. Rather than providing short term enrichment opportunities, Logan creates a space where gifted students’ needs can be identified and met by expert teachers, and where they can find a community of peers that understands and supports them. A student’s individual interests are the driver of their learning and through self-directed units of study, our students are the heroes of their own education stories.
How do differentiated learning and collaboration intersect?
Collaboration at The Logan School is both intentional and naturally occurring. Students work together in Class Units, small group discussions, and during independent work time—sharing ideas, testing theories, and offering feedback. Field trips and Class Units, co-designed with our Environmental Education teachers, create additional opportunities for hands-on, shared learning experiences.
How do you teach literacy in math, reading and writing?
Logan teachers build a toolbox of resources for their classrooms. This allows them to create differentiated curriculum for each student, centered on the unit topic chosen by the student. The units are thoughtfully designed in partnership with the student to be a rich, multidisciplinary experience. Students are supported to cultivate a wide range of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills. Students build their academic skills through meaningful, hands-on experiences within their classroom communities. Teachers design and lead small groups to develop and build on the literacies while embracing the higher order thinking of analyzing, evaluating and creating.
How do Logan students do when they leave Logan?
We stay closely connected with our alumni and their families as they transition to new schools, high school, college, and beyond. Time and again, they tell us that a Logan education not only prepares students academically but also equips them with the confidence and adaptability to thrive in the real world. Our emphasis on social-emotional learning empowers Logan students to self-advocate, forge new opportunities, and become changemakers in their schools, careers, and communities. Our alumni go on to excel in diverse fields—pioneering research, launching innovative businesses, leading social initiatives, and making meaningful contributions to the world.
