Our Preschool Program offers a nurturing and family like environment to our youngest learners.

- The Lower School (grades K-5) curriculum is designed to strengthen literacy, cultivate math skills, establish effective work habits, and encourage students` citizenship by enhancing their understanding of the world around them. Reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, and science are cornerstone to the curriculum.

- Our Accelerated Middle School (grades 5-8) offers three strands of disciplines, Humanities (English and Social Studies), Classics and STEM. These courses are block scheduled to allow teachers to work together on interdisciplinary projects. Students in 7th and 8th grade are introduced to Latin and Ancient Greek, enhancing their understanding and function of language. All students are encouraged to graduate with three earned high school credits in subject areas such as math, foreign language, and science. Through small class sizes and individual attention, our middle school students are given every opportunity to learn and explore.
