Academics

A K–12 education, built level by level.

KG 1–3

Early Years (KG)

A warm, play-based introduction to school life, building the social, language, and early literacy foundations children carry into primary school. [Approach description is a reasonable placeholder; to be refined with input from the school.]

Grades 1–5

Primary

Core subjects and foundational skills, delivered with the kind of individual attention a close-knit school can offer, as students grow from early readers into confident learners.

Grades 6–12

Secondary

A more rigorous course load, including a Natural Science / Social Science stream choice in grades 11–12, preparing students for national exams and beyond, built on the community and continuity established in the earlier grades.
