Every member of our team is more than just a teacher. We are facilitators of learning, advisors, guides, learners, and friends. As members of the academic community, we are passionately committed to cultivating the strengths in each child as students embark on the path to lifelong learning.

Working in teams, our teachers value the responsibilities for academic excellence. Drawing from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience, the faculty use differentiated, dynamic instruction and construct creative, child-centered curriculum. We empower students to be the best versions of themselves as well as reflective, responsible citizens of the global community.

Teachers that Research

Our teachers are lovers of learning. Professional Development days in the summer and during the school year provide opportunities to engage in cutting-edge workshops with world renowned consultants. Every week, teachers collaborate to discuss planning possibilities and review best practices. Research-based curriculum and instruction is at the forefront of our 21st century program. Additionally, teachers attend conferences connected to their interests.
