School Notes:

Our innovative Learning Center develops an Individual Learning Style Profile for each student. A great way to help students understand their strengths, talents, and areas of weakness, the profiles are also useful to teachers seeking to create effective lessons that enhance learning.
The student to teacher ratio is low—approximately 5:1. Class sizes range from 8 to 14 students.
Teachers write weekly reports on students to keep parents and students involved in the educational process. Parents can access these reports online.
