About us
We seek to create an environment where children can connect to Christ and discover the wonder and beauty of His world.
For the last two years, Selah Academy has been downtown Harrisonburg’s new school for 4, 5, and 6-year-olds, but starting in ‘25-’26, we will add a new 1st and 2nd grade class. We seek to guide students into vibrant learning through encouraging indoor and outdoor play, reading engaging children’s literature to them, helping them prepare and eat food together, engaging them in music, art and Spanish language learning, guiding them into unhurried, hands-on spiritual formation, and establishing good habits of work and learning.
In short, Selah is Christ-centered, literature-focused, discovery-based, and Montessori-inspired.
Our name means “to pause” - which is what we want Selah to be! A pause from the chaos and hurry that can so easily surround us. We pray Selah will be a place of calm for students and parents alike who enter our doors.
Weekly rhythms at Selah Academy
We value individual and group play, language learning, participation in food prep and eating together, music, art, reading great stories aloud together, Christian formation that engages the senses, and good habits of work and learning.
