We are delighted to provide a quality educational program that challenges, nurtures and supports children in all developmental areas. Each classroom setting instills in children a love of learning.
The Reading Workshop
The Reading Workshop framework allows for students to gain the benefits of reading by self-selection, self-pacing and time spent reading and sharing books. The classroom teacher demonstrates how to explore text and supports student-led discussion groups. Students gain the knowledge to understand text on multiple levels and respond to it thoughtfully.

Character Education
Character education is a learning process that enables students and adults in a school community to understand, care about and act on core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue and citizenship, and responsibility for self and others. Upon such core values, we form the attitudes and actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy and informed communities that serve as the foundation of our society.
