Our vision is to serve as a premier school in our district that is committed to quality education for all students. We are recognized as one of the best schools in the country with great results in education that provides an amazing learning environment.
… where every student is given an opportunity to explore his or her interests and talents and is prepared to become a better analytical and critical thinker who is a well-rounded, self-reliant, innovative, productive life-long learner equipped to compete in and add value to a global society.
Computer Science
Computer science (CS) is an important element in strengthening existing education models and preparing students for the future. … CS education has been linked with higher rates of college enrollment and improved problem-solving abilities
Fine Arts
Engaging with art is essential to the human experience. Almost as soon as motor skills are developed, children communicate through artistic expression. The arts challenge us with different points of view, compel us to empathize with “others,” and give us the opportunity to reflect on the human condition.
Humanities
The Humanities strengthen our global view, broaden our intellectual foundation, teach us to communicate clearly, help us to develop creative and critical thinking skills, teach us to be problem solvers, create engaged citizens and thinkers, reinforce cultural and ethical responsibilities and values.
History
The study of history in school is important for children’s conceptual development. They can begin to understand that the past has many different facets and that each era is different from the next, as well as being different from our own. … The study of history builds children’s understanding of society.
Mathematics
We teach mathematics because it provides opportunities for developing important intellectual skills in problem-solving, deductive and inductive reasoning, creative thinking and communication.
Science
There are multiple reasons for science to be a core part of elementary school learning. It can support: (a) development of a knowledgeable citizenry, (b) meaningful learning of language and mathematics, (c) wonderment about how the natural world works, and (d) preparation for STEM-related careers.
