We maintain a commitment to small class sizes, ensuring that all members of our learning community get to know each other well. In addition to the core curriculum that is based on national educational standards, our school incorporates teaching the skills that students will need to be successful in the coming generation - including collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and technology and media skills.
