Curriculum is designed around the ability of the student.

Life skills is a natural part of the learning process and is incorporated into the everyday curriculum. Students learn to serve one another at meal times, wash dishes, and prepare meals by learning to cut vegetables, fruits, etc. Students in higher grades help in the office, with landscaping, janitorial skills, volunteering at the Food Care Center and other community places.

Most field trips are designed around the curriculum and what is being studied.
It is important to connect learning with real life when possible. Other “fun”
field trips are great opportunities for social interaction and relationship
building.

semester. We have frequent opportunities for involvement. It is also a great
way to get to know other parents. We are working on rebuilding our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) so we will be better able to keep our families connected and involved

Different environments are good for all of us. Some of us thrive in a smaller more intimate setting. Our school is individualized. This means that the teacher does not teach to the norm in the class. Students are taught at their level regardless of grade level.
