We instill enthusiasm and love for learning by providing inspiring teachers, a challenging and flexible project-based curriculum, small class size, multi-grade classrooms, and a stimulating environment.

Class sizes are purposefully small to enable our teachers to appreciate and encourage multiple types of intelligence.
