Balanced Academics.
Our small classes are fast-paced, but never rushed. We have time to work closely with each student, as they grow into eager, independent and resilient learners.
Home
Small School. Big Education.
Our small size offers our students so many advantages. The most important is the support of a warm and close-knit school community of teachers, staff and parents.
We Can't Wait to Meet You!
Our Admission Team is available to answer questions, guide you through the admission process, and coordinate virtual campus visits and virtual introductions to our incredible teaching teams.
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Our students go on immersive learning adventures every day without leaving campus. But we love to take learning off campus, too, heading from local libraries to working archaeological digs.
Distance Learning Program
Live, synchronous instruction daily across all grades (JK- 8th). From Academics to Zoom plays to virtual assemblies to Art and P.E. We do it all!
