We recognize you're coming to us for a strong beginning for your child.

Children are innately and naturally curious, and have a love of learning. From Junior Kindergarten all the way through the grades, we nurture and sustain that same level of joy and curiosity and desire for learning in your child. 

We are intentional in allowing children to explore their world through core academic courses, as well as artistic, athletic, outdoor education, leadership and service opportunities.

I look forward to meeting you and your family. If you have any questions at any point, please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions office.
