It starts with a question.
Headwaters Community School is an independent high school for grades 9–12 where learning begins with curiosity and goes wherever it leads.
Three Pillars
Driven by Curiosity
Students here learn to ask good questions and chase the answers. Rigorous coursework, meaningful projects, and the freedom to take intellectual and creative risks turn curiosity into real skill.
Grounded in Place
Understanding the world begins with understanding where you stand. Our students come to know their community and the natural world around them, find their place within both, and learn the responsibilities they carry toward each.
Connected to the World
None of this happens in isolation. Learning at Headwaters is built on real relationships with teachers who know students well and with peers who build community together, and it reaches outward into work that matters beyond our walls.
A school within reach
We believe a home at Headwaters should not be out of reach for the families who want it. Through sliding-scale tuition, scholarships, and community support, we are committed to making this education accessible to all.
Every life of purpose begins somewhere.
At Headwaters, we begin with curiosity. Come see what that looks like.
We believe learning shouldn’t be confined to a classroom or a textbook. At Headwaters, a question is where the work begins, and students follow it through rigorous academics, hands-on projects, mentorship, and real-world experience. Along the way they build the skills to think critically, create, and solve problems on their own terms, and they come to know themselves, their community, and the place they stand.
