School Notes
- School Motto: We empower students to meet their full potential by recognizing their strengths and developing their foundations for learning.
- Our one-room schoolhouse concept addresses skill levels, not grade levels. Students are taught the skills they need to overcome their learning challenges. Using explicit systematic evidence-based instruction and curriculum, particularly a structured literacy approach, students can make significant gains in a relatively short time. Meeting the needs of the whole child includes social and emotional learning. Following the latest research in neuroscience and brain-based learning, we build foundations for learning to make lifelong changes.
