Celebrating the TPP
Not only are our young students engaged in learning every day, so are our adult learners. A unique element of our school is our Teacher Preparation Program (TPP).
The Importance of Community
Being new in a community can be both exciting and also a little intimidating. Whether it’s joining a new school, moving to a new neighborhood, or starting a new job, stepping into an unfamiliar environment often brings a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
Our Valued Team of Educators
At the heart of a great school is an outstanding faculty and staff – the people are our core! We are fortunate to have an incredible faculty and staff who are committed to our mission and vision.
Opening Week
There is nothing quite like the opening week of school. The nervous excitement abounds, with some students beginning their journey in a whole new school and everyone arriving a little older and more mature than the year before.
