About Tree of Life Charter School:
Tree of Life was founded in 2000 in Ukiah in beautiful Mendocino County, one hour’s drive north of Santa Rosa, by supportive families who wanted a Montessori educational program for their children. The facility is located on the Redwood Empire Fairground and currently enrolls around 100 TK-8 students. Its charter has been renewed four times by Ukiah Unified School District. Tree of Life is a National Green School that uses only environmentally friendly cleaning products and has an active recycling and gardening program. Peace education, restorative justice, non-violent communication and conflict resolution strategies are included in our program. The school is intentionally small to promote a sense of community and caring.
The parents and families of the school are strongly involved in volunteer activities and fundraising for the school. They help out with field trip driving, site beautification, classroom projects, listening to students read, and after school clubs.
Tree of Life staff members come from a variety of backgrounds, share many interests and talents, and are highly supportive of each other. Currently the staff uses Montessori Compass for online recordkeeping and progress reports. The staff meets together weekly to do planning, problem solving, in-house training, sharing ideas and strategies, and providing support.
We welcome you to visit our school community and invite you to send us your resume.
