Our Philosophy: We provide a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment that promotes high academic and creative achievement, fosters the development of successful and independent students and prepares them to be productive members of a worldwide community. We believe students learn best when they create, have opportunities to explore a variety of topics in different settings, and are presented with content that sparks their imagination.
The arts serve as a vehicle to bring curricular areas together in a cohesive universal language. All subjects are integrated with music, dance, drama, visual, and literary arts to bring learning to life. The integrated arts approach is an interdisciplinary collaboration that assumes all children are artists and that art can be used to strengthen all learning. We also use the Multiple Intelligence approach to learning recognizing that children have varying learning styles.
