Our Goals
1. We believe in providing each child the enriched and accelerated learning needed to reach a high level of academic excellence. This includes the development of independence, creativity, and motivation to learn and achieve within a well-structured, but low-pressure environment. Our curriculum provides each child with knowledge and opportunities to practice decision-making.
2. We believe in establishing positive, effective communication and interpersonal relationship skills. This can be facilitated in a carefully planned learning environment which is based on respect for each child as an individual, and a philosophy which practices positive support, individualization of each child’s program and faculty who are genuinely committed to the development of each child as a whole person.

We help each student establish a good self-concept, awareness and understanding of the world and of people, compassion, and a sense of pleasure and delight in learning, and in participating in the life present in our ever-changing world. It is our philosophy that children will be successful, and appreciate the natural and aesthetic qualities of the world in which we live.
