Who We Are

We are an independent, nonprofit, K-2 school. We start early and give our students a firm foundation in literacy and math. We offer small class sizes, a 10-to-1 student/teacher ratio or less, and use reading instruction that is based on the Science of Reading where all students can and do learn to read. For math, we teach number sense, which is key to understanding and excelling in math. We also incorporate social studies, science, music, art, character building, and computer technology.

What We Do

We use proven, research-based reading instruction. The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) has determined that all reading instruction should include 5 components – phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension.  We incorporate these 5 components as well as writing, spelling, sight words, all while implementing a multisensory approach to learning.  For math, we teach number sense, which is key to understanding and excelling in math. We also incorporate Social Studies, Science, Music, Art, Character Building, and Computer Technology.
