Each grade has a maximum of 32 students taught by two certified teachers. Pre-school classes also have an assistant teacher. Team-based curriculum planning creates a rich, meaningful and stimulating environment. We believe the community is a powerful resource for learning real world skills. Frequent field trips and guest speakers from the community are vital components of the learning experience.
Research is a major part of the school.
Staff, children and families all work with our researchers to develop innovative and effective practices for learning and personal growth. We have an extended year calendar . Classes begin in August and continue into June with brief breaks planned between each six weeks grading period.
