Smaller class size allows for individual attention and a child centered program. Special subjects such as Music, Art, Foreign
Language, Physical Education and Information Technology provide enrichment.
Structure, routine,dress code and mutual respect among all individuals facilitate the educational process and foster appreciation
of the variety of personalities and cultures
represented in the student body.
Within this atmosphere of peace, students are guided toward
the development of their whole person so that ultimately they become aware that
they have within themselves the resources to create a better world.
Success and self confidence are the outcome.
