Hauser said Sagebrook’s curriculum integrates elements from the IB Primary Years Programme, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia approaches, focusing on inquiry-based and experiential learning that encourages curiosity, creativity, and real-world engagement.
The school, an upcoming IB PYP candidate institution, will also offer the Beginnings Programme for children from 12 months onward, along with a dedicated parent café and co-working space to foster community interaction. As part of the launch celebrations, Sagebrook will host a citywide experiential event titled “When Why Finds Joy” on February 7, introducing families to its learning philosophy through interactive activities.
