About our school
Our vision is to equip all of our scholars with the academic and social-emotional knowledge and awareness needed to make good choices, advocate for themselves in the community and transform the world. We work to achieve this vision by creating a positive and child-centered environment that sets high expectations for achievement and success. As a community, we work to empower our students to be agents of change.
We aim to utilize all available resources and partnerships to eliminate any potential barriers to our students’ success. The coordination of these resources allows us to serve as a hub in the community and includes programs to serve our students’ health, after school programming and adult education.
It is a true privilege to educate, enrich and encourage your children while preparing them for greatness within our school and throughout the world!
