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.
