Our Mission

It is our mission to educate our children not only academically, but through a core foundation of knowledge that includes the arts, technology, and the ability to accept individual differences as assets rather than hindrances. 

It is our hope that our students will recognize social injustices, speak out against inequities, and value humanity so when they take over our society they are caring, empathetic people who will advocate for the goodness of all mankind. 

INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS:  All students will use highlighting, chunking and writing in the margins in all academic areas.

After School Program

Some of the activities include Sports Club, Builders Club, Music Club, Robotics Club, Science, Computers, Arts and Crafts and Homework Help.
