In addition to the core curriculum, students are given many opportunities to explore their creativity in the school’s science lab and through music and art programs. We are striving to address all of our 21st century learner's needs with activities such as web site design, Lego Robotics, multi-media projects and many other ideas geared towards exposing our students to more hands on technology. Our school offers all-day prekindergarten classes, where students are prepared to enter elementary school ready to read and learn.
