Our Mission:
To provide an interactive, hands-on approach to inquiry and project-based learning focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
All students are exposed to STEM and project-based learning in their classrooms. Our Grade 2-Grade 5 students travel to our STEM Lab for reinforcement, instruction, design challenges, and a plethora of other activities.
All students can participate in a wide range of clubs and SEM Programming before, during, and after the school day.
Our ELL program helps students grasp the complexities of our language and culture through learning activities that connect to the student’s prior experience; complex thinking and challenging activities; language and literacy development; observation and modeling; and instructional conversations.
We are proud to support our community through our garden, which produces beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs tended by our teachers, staff, and students.
