FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Classes generally range in size from 18-20 depending on enrollment. All classes in Preschool through Kindergarten have a teacher and a teaching assistant.
In addition to the classes above, our 5th grade students take an "Innovation" class for the full year and our 6th-8th graders have choice electives that change each quarter. Choice electives vary on the interest of the students from year to year but classes often include Guitar, Cooking, Robotics, Jam Sesh (music), Mixed Media Art, Technical Theater, Broadcast News, Life Skills, Yearbook, and more.
Throughout the year we have free dress days, spirit days, and student council spirit days that offer an occasional break from the uniform.
