Our differentiated instructional approach ensures that learning is tailored to meet each student’s needs and readiness, allowing all learners to thrive. Beyond traditional academics, students engage in enriching specialty classes including Spanish, art, music, theater, physical education, and chapel, along with regular access to our library and Innovation Lab/MakerSpace, where they explore technology, robotics, and 3D printing.
To support the whole child, we offer a robust athletics program with sports like volleyball, track, and basketball, as well as after-school activities that encourage creativity and collaboration.
