Outstanding Academics

"Make anything you please, as long as it fits through the door" is the motto of our unique Industrial Arts program. A "makerspace" before it became buzz, this space offers the computers, tools, saws, materials, and inspiration for students need to complete amazing projects. Recent creations have included lighting, guitars, skateboards, bird houses, ergonomic chairs, benches, desks, and more.

Our Science program is truly exceptional. Classrooms abound with plants and creatures, and enthusiastic teachers impart their love for science and the world around us upon their students by making learning exciting. Frequent field trips (to x x x ) enrich learning, and students have opportunities to interact meaningfully with their environment as a means to understanding the world.

Our academic program is designed to allow students to experience success, to help them understand the nature of their learning challenges, to provide them with the skills and strategies for overcoming their academic difficulties and social challenges.

Our school offers a wide range of technology to engage today's learners and to help them acquire and demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Smart Board and projection devices are used in most classrooms to enhance group instruction, writing and editing. The latest model desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices for individual use enrich and create multi-sensory learning experiences. 8th grade is part of a 1:1 iPad implementation pilot, with plans to expand to other grades.
