philosophy of the school is evident in the words of everyone on the staff. The
focus is on the development of the individual and extra care is made to treat
everyone as an individual. Individual attention, love and kindness, caring and
support are the key ingredients of what happens in this school, and they are
obvious in the dedication of the director, administration and staff, as well.”

that meets the varying needs of the children while maintaining standards
commensurate with a college preparatory curriculum. Furthermore, children are
