  • Departmentalized curriculum – teachers specialize in their subject-area to allow individual tailoring to each student’s needs and abilities.  Subject areas include math, language arts, social studies, science, computers, music, art, religion, Spanish, and P.E.
  • Small class size, usually 15-20 students. 
  • Study skills are integrated into the curriculum.
  • Guest speakers, field trips, special projects, and cross-curricular studies mean more active and in-depth learning for students.  Our students regularly participate in the county spelling bee and tri-county science Olympiad.
  • Great extra-curricular offerings – golf, karate, yoga, art & book club, soccer, drama and more!
  • Service projects open students up to the world around them and help them develop leadership skills.  Each year our students raise over $5,000 to aid projects locally and around the world.
  • Our 5th grade class spends a week at YMCA Camp Storer each spring.
