What makes your school unique?<br />

We are dedicated to academic excellence for every student. We take pride in the high quality of<br />

teaching in all of our classrooms, and in our team structure which offers a welcoming community to all<br />

students and families. We have a strong commitment to the arts, and offer instrumental music, vocal<br />

music, drama, strings, and a range of other arts programs. We offer an extended school day for all 6 th<br />

grade students, and expect that this well be extended to all students in Grades 6-8 next year. The<br />

additional learning time allows us to offer both enrichment and academic support to all students.<br />
