Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten program is designed to transition our students into the school environment and provide them with age appropriate experiences that enhance their creativity, curiosity, and collaboration. The balanced approach to early learning in our classrooms arrive at the intersection of exploration and deep thinking.
The classes in our elementary program are unique providing flexible learning environments, personalized learning, physical activation, and integrated arts programs. We utilize every space on our campus, indoor and outdoor, as learning centers.
Students engage daily in special subjects such as: art, music, physical education, library, and in the Innovation and Design Studio.
