Wide Selection of Learning Tools!

Our basic textbooks and workbooks have all been approved by the State Board of Education. Our students also have access to many manipulative materials, interest centers, science equipment, a modern computer lab, and a library, art and music room, all staffed by specialists in these areas. Our learning environment extends beyond the campus with exciting and informative field trips.

High Quality Staff

We select our classroom teachers for their ability to teach and inspire children as well as their experience, academic qualifications and credentials. Each year, we provide both on-and-off campus in-service opportunities in such areas as innovations in education, as well as meeting the various needs of individual children.
