Small classes with two teachers per classroom create an ideal student to teacher ratio that varies between 1:7 – 1:10, providing all the individual attention required for accelerated programs.

With learning facilitated at an individual pace, teachers are liberated to meet the varying needs of students, provide one-on-one assistance and smoothly execute multiple lesson plans.

Individual learning is further encouraged and fostered by a curriculum that teaches the importance of compassion, tolerance and good citizenship skills on a daily basis.
