The staff, working closely with parents, endeavors to provide a classroom program that supports the learning needs and interests of all its students.
Our classrooms are designed to support the grouping of students in natural proportions by gender, by race, by social economic background, and mental or physical challenges.
Our curriculum approach is based upon the concept of full inclusion and a belief that our children can learn when the learning environment is designed to meet the academic and social needs of individuals.
