Welcome!

What is Mandala School?

Mandala is a safe, stable place for kids to learn and grow as they are. A place where supporting kids is more important than racing through curriculum. Mandala  provides individualized, hands-on learning in every subject. Mandala has a small schoolhouse nestled in the village of East Aurora, a place where teachers and students feel connected to their community.

At Mandala we respond to children and their ever-changing needs, desires, and learning styles. We meet students where they should be taught, and appropriately challenged, rather than place according to their age. At Mandala, we are kind and we help each other out. We work together, we solve problems, we communicate, and we thrive.  We foster a democratic environment where everyone’s words and thoughts are heard and respected. We provide a space where kids love learning and at the end of the day, they don’t want to leave.

When our family discovered Mandala we knew it was the right place for our son, Felix.

The humanitarian approach to learning, along with caring and patient teachers, helped Felix discover his unique learning style that wasn’t achieved in public school.

Mandala gave Felix the feeling of being at home with happy kids who enjoy lots of time being creative, playing outdoors and taking wilderness adventures.

Mandala gave Felix the opportunity to,  “learn how to learn” in his early years which developed a solid foundation for further schooling.

Felix was recently accepted into Canisius High School and we attribute his formative years at Mandala to his current achievements.         -Former Mandala Parent
