We are a constructivist-based private school. We have small class sizes, a friendly work atmosphere, and love learning alongside our students. We commonly take field trips and meet experts to guide us on our learning journey. Our K/1 class follows a Reggio Emilia style of teaching and learning. For grade 2 +, it is inquiry based with more of a foundation in the learning standards. Assessment guides instruction.
