What We Do
Academics
Staff teachers and volunteer tutors help your child excel in their homework, plus offer extra support for areas of need. We use fun, evidence-based curriculum to ensure every student achieves grade level in reading and math.
Citizenship
Your child will grow in the values of good citizenship through individual achievements and team competition. Our team will guide and inspire all children to be proud young Americans and tomorrow’s leaders.
Enrichment
Your child will gain confidence through an array of enrichment activities—from arts and crafts to music, from STEM to health and wellness, from recreational sports to outdoor explorations, and more.
Resilience
Life is full of challenges. Our team uses trauma-informed principles and practices to care for students and enhance their coping and resiliency skills.
