Silverton Paideia Academy

Silverton Paideia Academy is an elementary school adhering to the Paideia philosophy of education, guided by the principles that all children can learn, that all students need and deserve the same high quality education, that all students must be challenged to perform to the best of their ability, and that all genuine knowledge is active rather than passive.

At Silverton Paideia Academy, the museum school concept is being applied in support of the Paideia program already in place. Through formal and informal partnerships with area museums, zoos, aquaria, galleries, performing arts venues, historic homes and related scientific and cultural organizations, Silverton Paideia Academy has adopted the museum school concept to actively extend learning beyond the limitations of a physical classroom or the traditional school day.

In accordance with its role as a Community Learning Center and in furtherance of the Paideia focus on lifelong learning, Silverton Paideia Academy and its partners will also extend the museum-related opportunities to our larger community including the City of Silverton and surrounding communities.
