We strive to promote academic excellence, individuality, interdependence, imagination, creativity, inner discipline and self-esteem.
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.
The overall purpose of our program is to provide consistent structure within which children can become self-disciplined learners.
It is only through free choice that the will of the child develops.
Our teachers guide children to make thoughtful choices in their work, their movements and their social interactions.
