Montessori based curriculum teaches children to think and discover for themselves. Our school is designed to help each student develop his/her unique talents and possibilities. Our programs include Suzuki violin, band, orchestra, music classes, drama, Spanish immersion, sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, running club, tennis, archery) visual arts, horticulture, and culinary arts. The basis of
our approach is the simple observation that children learn most effectively through direct experience and the process of investigation and discovery. We promote active learning by using hands-on and group learning. We follow a well established curricular framework that includes expectations for basic academic achievement at each level. We guide the student to meet his/her challenges with set goals culminating in a sense of accomplishment, closure, and recognition. Learning the right answers will get you through school. Learning how to learn will get you through life! We recognize that before students can take advantage of a challenging education, they have to discover their innate abilities. They need to develop a strong sense of independence, self-confidence, and self-discipline. We seek to inspire a passion for excellence and to nurture curiosity, creativity, and imagination. Our goal is not only to give students a fine education, but to prepare them for life. We teach our students from an early age that the education they receive comes with the responsibility to help others within our immediate and extended community. We also teach them that the responsibility to change our world for the better lies with each of us, and that service needs to be an accepted part of everyone's life if we are to achieve this goal.
