Our mission is to nurture all aspects of the individual child, developing students to be curious, capable and confident. Each classroom is a combined library-publishing house-laboratory-studio where students are engaged in purposeful activities. We know that children learn from practicing authentic tasks, so our students have ample opportunities to read books, write for an audience, use numbers for real purposes, find answers to their own questions and express themselves creatively. The teachers design classrooms that are developmentally appropriate, offering challenges so that every child can make progress toward his or her full potential.


Our motto is "Work Hard - Be Kind". Children are taught not only to organize for effort and strive for high standards. They also learn to understand and respect others in our diverse world. We are committed to giving all students the foundation they can use to follow their interests and develop their strengths.
