Kindergarten - Kindergarten is a time of discovery and growth. Through structured play, engaging activities, and thoughtful guidance, children develop essential skills in literacy, math, and problem-solving, preparing them for a lifetime of learning and success.

Lower Elementary - In our elementary program, curiosity meets opportunity. Students expand their knowledge through exploration, collaboration, and hands-on learning in a supportive environment that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and independence

Upper Elementary - In Upper Elementary, students deepen their knowledge in subjects like language arts, math, science, and social studies while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We focus on fostering independence, responsibility, and collaboration through engaging projects and hands-on learning. Alongside academics, we support creativity, leadership, and social-emotional growth, preparing students for middle school and beyond.
