Programs

Toddler Program (2-3 years)

The Toddler Program focuses on helping children with their first experience away from home. Children will develop independence and concentration through basic life skills. The student ratio is 6:1.

Pre-Primary and Kindergarten (3-6 years)

This program nurtures the development of the whole child through an individualized learning environment in a mixed-age setting. Hands-on materials build a strong foundation in reading, math and cultural studies. The student ratio is 10:1.

Kindergarten Enrichment

Individual academic challenges are tailored to the level of the child attending first grade the following year.

Elementary (Grades 1-6)

Our Elementary Education program balances the child's developing imagination and power of abstraction with concrete, hands-on materials - the best possible foundation for the development of math and science skills. The children work individually and in small groups doing research and presenting projects to the class. Classroom materials have a structured sequence of progression, leading to the joys of discovery and understanding. Teachers help facilitate creativity, independent thinking, and responsibility in each student.
