About Us

WE TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO THINK,
HISTORY
The Healdsburg School is a thriving community of inquisitive students, collaborative families, and inspiring faculty and administration. With the vision of Sandi Passalacqua and a team of passionate community members, THS opened in 2007 with sixteen students. The Healdsburg School today provides a nurturing environment for two hundred students in grades K-8. As an independent school, our challenging academic program ensures the mastery of basic skills and the development of higher-order thinking abilities. Our program is complemented by a commitment to the arts, physical and social/emotional well being, and a belief in service.

“The small class sizes are ideal for me and the freedom of being in such a close-knit community really allows me to explore and discover.
To me, THS is a family.”

PURPOSE STATEMENT
We believe children deserve to discover and/or construct meaning and understanding through authentic learning experiences. Every day we create opportunities for our students to explore new ideas, wrestle with complex issues, and listen with heart and mind to cultivate the skills and mindsets necessary to create a more just world.
