Our academic approach

We believe that education should encourage each student's unique strengths, while providing a solid academic foundation for the achievement of life goals.

Our curriculum combines a strong base in verbal and math skills with plenty of room for children to explore their own projects and interests.

At the heart of the curriculum are great books: living works of literature, science and history both classic and modern.
