• Our graduates are admitted to selective Magnet and private high schools, often earning scholarships.

• We serve busy working families from 6:15am until 6:15pm.

• We utilize technology to enhance our students’ learning and growth.

• Our teachers strive to meet the individual needs of each student.

• Our academic program includes Music, Dance, and PE. Sports, Art, Dance, and Choir are a part of our after school program!
