We are also proud to offer summer programs, counseling, SAT/ACT prep, home schooling assistance, and many other academic services to our students from Kindergarten through High School.

Core Subjects and 21st Century Themes. Students work on core subjects, which include English language arts, mathematics, world languages, arts, economics, science, history, geography, and civics.

Learning and Innovation Skills. These are the skills necessary to be an effective member of the 21st century workforce. They include creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration.

Information, Media, and Technology. Our digital and media-rich world is constantly evolving. Students need to understand how to effectively utilize technology and media to contribute to society and collaborate in a constructive fashion.
