             Elementary  School

 Life in the Elementary School is challenging, fast-paced, and fun. Our educational programs are designed to help students develop the skills, understanding, and attitudes that will support their success in school and in life. As we move through the processes of inquiry, discussion, decision-making and reflection, students develop an understanding of themselves, of other people and of our world.

These talents and dispositions are fostered in a secure, supportive environment characterized by honesty, respect and caring. By putting students at the center of their own learning, it is our hope that they develop the courage, optimism and resilience to dream big and persist in the face of obstacles.
