Classroom environments are nurturing and safe, allowing for our students to take the necessary risks and challenges needed for true growth.

Character Education

Social-emotional learning and good citizenship are an integral part of our curriculum and daily life.

In middle school, leadership skills become more formalized with Student Council and Arista. Progress in these areas is detailed through weekly communication and reports.
