This school has a robust Gifted & Talented program and leading arts program. Upon entering the building its welcoming, clean, and the walls are filled with student art work. There are also butterflies around the building which symbolizes the schools mascot. The principal and staff are very knowledgeable and collaborative.

We love the school so much. Our PreK student is thriving there. From the moment we toured, we knew it was the right fit for us. We love the fact that all students even PreK! get to take Dance, Music, Theater and Art as specials. Communication from the school has been phenomenal. Cant say enough good things.

This is a special place. Our school is unique. We offer an Exploratory Arts Program, where students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade experience Arts-Integrated learning and regularly scheduled classes in Music, Visual Art, Theatre and Dance, with the option to study violin, as well. Our school climate is positive. Our parents are involved. The children are happy to be here. The staff are also happy to be here. It's a real gem.
