School's mission is to provide a broad, stimulating and challenging educational program that is sharply focused on the development of the whole child: mind, body, and character.
Our goal is to instill in each child the desire and enthusiasm for a life-long interest in learning and the arts.
In addition to a challenging academic curriculum that focuses on laying a solid foundation for advanced study, students are introduced to various activities that will help them develop their skills in areas such as dance, swim, sports, gymnastics, music and drama.
