Program Overview -
Small Class Sizes
With an average class size of 14, our teachers have the time to truly get to know every student in their classes. Faculty recognize and celebrate every child’s voice, address individual strengths and challenges, and provide plenty of personal attention. Our smaller class sizes also lead to greater opportunities for student participation and academic achievement.

Whole Child Approach
We are dedicated to a whole-child approach that develops each student intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively. All the “extras” are part of our curriculum, including art, athletics, music, STEM, outdoor education, and world languages. This wide array of experiences helps students become fearless learners who can step outside their comfort zones, try new skills and discover their talents. Through integrated service learning and character education, we also prepare our students to be caring, compassionate leaders and global citizens.
