School Notes Overview: |
We are committed to a class size that permits an unusual degree of individual attention, leading to close student/teacher relationships and fostering a healthy learning environment. Our solid academic curriculum challenges all children to do their personal best. The curriculum is rich in basic skills, and it encourages critical thinking, creativity, and individual growth. Our small classes offer the support students need to find their own strengths. Foreign language instruction begins in pre-kindergarten where our 4-year-old students are introduced to Spanish. Our faculty also includes specialized teachers for music, art, physical education, computer and library. We offer door-to-door transportation, before- and after-school care, and financial aid.
