The education of our scholars is a collaborative process with parents as core members of that team. Strong parent partnerships are a key component of the success of each scholar on our campus.

Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning, both in and out of school. We want our scholars to build literacy skills so that they are successful learners, but we also want them to love reading. Not everyone is a natural reader, but everyone can learn to love reading with the right stories.
