Dear Mustard Seed School Families and Friends,

I welcome you to our new website with a pride that is bittersweet. As we celebrate the many ways that God is good to the Mustard Seed Community in our sweet final 2023-24 school year, this website serves as a chronicle of an exceptional period. 

I also view these pages as documentation of our beloved child-centered approach, traditions, history, and more. How many times have you heard (or perhaps even said yourself) that one must be present on campus to really understand the quality that is uniquely and fundamentally Mustard Seed? Perhaps you observed student behavior in the park that was immediately recognizable as distinctly Mustard Seed, but how would you describe it? Maybe you were a member of the community for months before you knew about Las Posadas or our end-of-year honorings or the significance of STRONG-SAFE-BEAUTIFUL structures. You might have spent weeks accompanying your child to morning drop-off before truly appreciating the nuances of the Mustard Seed version of morning worship or Reggio-inspired curriculum or responsive classrooms. Because so much of what is special about our school is experiential and even when communicated, is often articulated only orally or documented in personalized segments for each child, the value of a written account became increasingly apparent. With this website, I am seeking to tend to the larger view of Mustard Seed School. 

Please enjoy this tribute to our school as a gifted scrapbook to you, our family and friends, capturing as much of the rich abundance and diversity of our community as we could fit in one place. Membership in this community has been a great honor for me and my family, and I will always treasure my time leading Mustard Seed School.

With love and gratitude,

Abby Hall Choi
Former MSS Head of School
