Academic

We deliver an exceptional preparatory and foundational education in core areas of literacy, math and science.  We prepare our graduates with the essential skills necessary to seamlessly transition to middle school.

Student-Centered

Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows us to develop a deep understanding of the skills and character of each student as they progress through each grade, adapting experiences, content and challenges as they grow.

Engaging

We provide an educational experience that is content-rich and includes specialist instruction in many subject areas, from computer science to vocal music. We blend the innate joy and curiosity of children with great teaching to produce a community of children who love to learn.
