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.
