We model and uphold social stewardship through equity and respect. Outreach and
community service are integral to our program and students are inspired to live responsibly,
passionately and compassionately in the world.
Work extends through meaningful interaction with the earth and outdoors on campus
and beyond. The Elementary Specialist Program complements the curriculum offering art,
music, physical education, foreign language, intermural sports and After School Programs.
Learning Specialists are on-site to support students.
Children remain in the same classroom for three to four years at each level in a learning
environment designed for intellectual, social, emotional and physical success.
Students achieve mastery of the academic curriculum and age-appropriate social and
cultural responsibilities and develop as naturally confident peer leaders. The School is a
joyful, diverse, and family-oriented community and values the partnership that grows,
strengthens and thrives with families committed to our School’s mission, philosophy and
approach to education.
