Aurora is an independent K-8 school located in Upper Rockridge.
We believe that academic excellence is most effectively achieved in an environment where students feel confident and supported. For that reason we implement social-emotional learning throughout our curriculum.

For thirty-five years, we have seen the value of this approach in cultivating confidence, curiosity, self-awareness, relationship skills, problem-solving, and responsible decision-making.
