These are the most important years to begin cultivating a lifelong love of learning.
Learn By Doing
Even our youngest learners take part in a wide variety of elective classes. The computer lab helps them build important skills. Art class helps to encourage creativity while building coordination. Drama & Performance fosters an appreciation of multiple genres of the performing arts.
Beyond the Books
Although we use books and worksheets as part of our curriculum, we also use a lot of other supplies to make learning more fun and engaging. We believe that hands-on atmospheres help students of all ages remain engaged in learning activities, which helps them to retain knowledge and to forge positive memories of school and learning.
