An independent Nursery through Grade 4 day school, we prepare students for a lifetime of learning. Realizing the importance of this critical phase of learning, our highly enriched curriculum will take your child through this first and most important "milestone" in his or her education.
Rooted in Montessori principles, we provide a strong academic foundation while leaving room for the child to explore many other disciplines from Spanish to our highly acclaimed Shakespeare program.
Our Small classroom sizes allow for individualized attention ensuring each child's academic success.
