Our Program

Our elementary students flourish in multi-grade classrooms, where every child receives one-on-one attention and benefits from working together with classmates in an encouraging and vibrant setting. Parents and community members actively engage in student learning and work in concert with teachers and staff members to promote the best interest and success of each student.
