Students in grades TK-5 engage in hands-on learning that emphasizes critical thinking, group projects, and the use of technology. This approach equips them with essential skills for ongoing education. Alongside core subjects, we offer physical education, music (including band and choir), art, and computer classes. Our students are encouraged to build a foundation for lifelong learning. Additionally, our Discovery Department supports students with learning differences.
