We welcome and honor cultural, ethnic, religious and economic diversity and we are committed to teaching peace, conflict resolution and global awareness.
Parental involvement is important in all aspects of the school's operation; thus, to cultivate a genuine sense of extended family and community.
We believe in fostering the whole child by providing an intellectually rich and challenging curriculum in a safe, caring and joyous environment.
