Our low teacher-to-student ratios (1:4 or 1:5) ensure personalized attention, fostering a nurturing environment where every child thrives. Separate classrooms allow for an engaging, socially distanced learning experience when necessary.
We group children of varied ages together to encourage peer learning and leadership development. This approach fosters collaboration and allows children to learn from one another, creating a dynamic classroom environment.
Children are immersed in Spanish or Mandarin throughout the school day. Our evidence-based methods ensure that language learning complements cognitive development, even for children from monolingual English-speaking households.
