On any day you might see students expressing themselves through discussion, poetry, song, art, movement, or technology. Competitions and field trips throughout the county, state, and country build up the student to impact the world.
Expertise in Learning Differences & STEM
We believe that our students deserve a full and robust program and curriculum that inspires and engages them, not a remedial experience. As the students engage in this rich experience, an interdisciplinary team supports skills in language, writing, math, reading and other areas to ensure that areas of weakness do not become a barrier to understanding, and also to ensure that they are bringing their strengths and self-knowledge to bear in their own learning.
​
We draw from many curriculum sources, including national and state education standards and offer a full curriculum of literature and language, math, science, social studies, history, foreign language, art, music, health, and physical education. The curriculum focuses on depth of understanding to make learning meaningful and inspiring, with the ultimate purpose of teaching students to think critically about their world and their own work, and to respond flexibly to the challenges and opportunities the world presents them.
