This is a phenomenal school that seems really starts focusing on the how to learn aspect instead of memorization. The focus on enabling self-sufficiency, accountability and developing a growth mindset really helps create a great foundation that improves student engagement and participation. The pandemic lockdown has really been a true testament to showcase how dedicated the staff and leadership (Principal Landstrom treats every child like her own) are towards continuing their growth and embracing a constantly changing environment. I think this not just helps them academically but also fosters resilience. They are excellent at communicating with family and go out of their way towards customizing learning styles and approaches. Embracing diversity of culture, language and thoughts are also their core competencies. We have gotten excellent value from our property taxes.

My kids have been in this school since it open and we absolutely love this and the wonderful teachers and staff. The principal takes time out to talk to you anytime she see you. Also we have a great community of parents that are really involved with the day to day things at the school.
