We're proud to be an A+ School, where the arts are an important part of everyday learning. Students explore creative ways to connect with subjects like reading, math, science, and technology.
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually.
