Small Classes

Small classes create personal learning experiences. Teachers inspire and support each child. Our teachers know our students, their interests and how they learn best. We maintain an 11:1 student-teacher ratio. In early childhood and lower schools, two teachers are in each classroom.

Our teachers are free to make decisions in their classrooms that they feel are best for their students. Integrated curriculum encourages students to learn holistically. Younger students attend resources classes in Spanish, P.E., science and art. In middle and upper school, students choose from a wide variety of classes.
 
Our classrooms are active. Students collaborate on projects, work in labs, conduct experiments, and complete hands-on assignments. Learning has real meaning and makes a lasting impression.
