Our Vision:

Creating Globally-Minded, Lifelong Learners

Our Mission:

Through a global lens, we provide rigorous academics with engaging cultural experiences that spark curiosity and create a love for learning.

Beginning December 19th, Chromebooks for ALL students in grades K-4 will be sent home each night as we prepare for the possibilities of inclement weather over the next couple months. Please make sure your child charges their Chromebook each night so it is fully charged for school each day. Thank you for your help with this matter!

Real Time Learning involves lessons being presented live to students via Zoom. After the lesson, teachers will be available to help students through their work while also answering questions. There will be two sessions: a morning Zoom for reading and an afternoon Zoom for math and other subjects.

These days will count as a full day of learning with the state and do not need to be made up. The following schedule will be used during REAL Time Learning:
