About Us

Mission Statement

Teachers regularly collaborate, intentionally integrating arts and science into core curriculum and core curriculum into “specials” classes.  Through the lens of Multiple Intelligences, along with specialized programs in visual art, dance, drama, music, science lab, physical education, and media/technology, students are introduced to diverse and multiple pathways for learning.  We create an engaging, hands-on learning environment where students thrive, teachers are inspired, and the school hums with creativity and curiosity every day.
