Our curriculum

The school uses McGraw Hill reading curriculum and Writing Without Tears.
Enrichment opportunities are available for students in grades two through six. Spanish instruction is available for all grade levels.
A Summer Bridges program offers students a chance to catch-up in subjects where they struggle.
Special education students are included in many classes, with pullout sessions for areas where they need more specialized help. A special education Learning Center also is available at the school.
Students also have regular art, PE and music classes, as well as access to strings and band instruction.
