All children are expected and encouraged to develop and perform at their highest potential.
The school is committed to fostering a sensitive environment that supports the development of self-confidence and self-reliance as well as the nurturing of creativity and critical thought.
These goals are accomplished in a warm and caring atmosphere.
We value individuality and encourage all children to reach their potential, while respecting their similarities and differences.
