Our Mission
About Us
Our whole-child approach nurtures our students, as well as fosters risk-taking and a growth mindset. Our teachers strive to create classroom environments that provide authentic learning experiences. Students have the gift of exploring and honing their talents in art, music and PE. We utilize the Thinking Strategies and the workshop model to increase rigor and critical thinking with our students. We value parent involvement and offer a multitude of opportunities to volunteer and be an active part of our educational process.
