Elementary School
PRE-K - 4TH GRADE
At the elementary school, learning is synonymous with creating, discovering, and exploring.
Our curriculum includes traditional academics as well as social-emotional learning activities, art, computer coding, and project-based learning. This diverse approach ensures scholars develop a strong foundation of core knowledge and critical thinking skills. Our elementary school curriculum is designed to instill a love of learning at an early age, promoting habits of success to prepare young scholars for the road to college.
