Our
neighborhood school is a collaborative community of active thinkers
who are preparing leaders of the 21st century. Our
commitment to a child-centered, engaging education ensures that
every student is encouraged to achieve high academic standards, meet
and exceed their own personal goals and realize social success. We
achieve this goal by providing our diverse student body with the
strategies to take responsibility for their learning by continuously
engaging them in rigorous and creative learning experiences. Our
students sustain a sense of curiosity that is met by
incorporating the community into our school to provide authentic
learning experiences. We share a belief that each member of the
community brings a unique set of talents and skills and this belief
is celebrated by providing all children the opportunity to excel by
applying best practices in teaching, skillful planning, and
providing a supportive and challenging inquiry based curriculum. Our
students will emerge from our school active learners and positive
members of the community.
