About us

We strive to develop and support each individual child to achieve his/her full potential. We are proud of our dedication to achieving a balance between academics, the arts and physical activity. Our outdoor and physical education programs, as well as our drama and music programs are woven into our schedule which allows all students to flourish. By exposing students to different possibilities that exist, they can develop interests and strengths, and make educated decisions when moving forward at the High School level.

Mission

Our mission is to create a dynamic learning environment that encourages each child to develop to his or her full potential. We are committed to creating an atmosphere that fosters intellectual curiosity and actively involves students in developing strong work habits, critical thinking skills and promoting social awareness. By creating strong partnerships with parents and other community members, we provide opportunities for students to link classroom experiences to the world outside. Our goal is to prepare respectful, bilingual and open-minded students who will become lifelong learners.
