A School In Your Community
We are the only non-sectarian private school in the area. We offer cultural diversity in that our student body hails from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds. We offer financial aid, busing, non-traditional teaching methods, an on-site library, multi-age classrooms, independent learning activities, and acceleration levels. Life skills are also a part of our teaching curriculum. Our middle school curriculum prepares students for advanced placement, accelerated courses, and entry into the area’s best high schools, college preparatory schools, and academies.
Cultural
Cultural Activities are a specific extension of the language curriculum where children begin to acquire a sense of historical fact, classification of physical geography and an appreciation of cultural differences.
Practical Life
Practical Life is the study of self-help skills and focuses on the four major areas, Care of Self, Care of Environment, Grace and Courtesy, and Movement.
Sensorial
Sensorial uses a multi-sensory approach to education. Children are encouraged to learn by processing information gathered through the senses.
Math
Math continues the cognitive math development that began in the Practical Life Skills and Sensorial curriculum, taking an acute focus and more abstract thinking process with concrete materials.

Parent Testimonials
“The school is truly a community. It really feels like a large extended family. I love the staff and the atmosphere as well as the fact that my older son was able to work to his own pace and level, resulting in him far exceeding traditional kindergarten materials during his kindergarten year. Academically, he is more than ready for first grade.”
“My oldest daughter began at the school when she was just over 2 years old. She is now entering second grade, and our twin daughters are entering their second year of Children’s House. We are continually impressed with the staff, parent organization, events, and community of the school. Our girls love going to school each day and cherish the relationships they have built.”
