Eight years ago in the first stage of founding Roberts Field and deciphering what would become its thematic symbol, the image of the galant ruby-orange sun rising on the rolling horizon repeatedly emblazoned itself upon preliminary sketches. Encapsulating multiple elements that would go on to be the foundational premise of our school’s mission. In all of its architecture, this visual motif would erect the tenets we knew would launch the school’s most tenacious and salient promise in perpetuity. 

As the sun rises for each human being on Earth, each morning, again, we are given a new opportunity to grow, to learn, to hope, and to be illuminated as students of humanity. The sun — nature’s most supreme asset of sustenance — reminds us of nature’s intended eternity and our planet’s ecosystem and biosphere as homestead. It also is the dawn of our daily interdisciplinary field of study and the application of the light of our creativity in all that we pursue. Those rolling, intersecting hill-lines under this star emerging again ascend as an inspirational promise of adventure, and an ode to our joy and strength as we prosper together as a learning community — as The Roberts Field School. 

Now, this Spring 2022, as we soon approach the end of our seventh year  as a thriving elementary school, we look with even greater reverence at the RFS sun and hill symbol that has in numerous ways lead us and reminded us of the remarkable success 

of this stretch of time.

The dedication, hard work, unyielding belief system, and educational vision that ensures the success of RFS is a full-school community, four-season, ongoing collaboration. Through sharing, communicating, and learning from each member, student, family, educator, artist, and leader in reflection, celebration, and evolution of  our mission, we thrive and further carve into stone our school’s full breadth of offering and purpose. We will continue to strategize, invest, and hold light towards all parts of expanding Roberts Field now and 

for generations to come.
