We are a world class Montessori school that offers high academic standards, sound instructional leadership, and a caring, peace oriented approach to discipline with low student-teacher ratios.

It is our personal philosophy to promote a sense of belonging in the school community for not only our children, but also our parents. We strive to enrich our school with support and welcome participation to ensure your child succeeds in all aspects of our program.

BENEFITS OF SPELLING BEES

1. Promote literacy by providing children with a positive goal to work toward, and give them a forum to display the benefits of their hard work.
2. Aid children in learning concepts, improving comprehension and developing study skills.
3. Extend beyond language: since children are required to spell words while on stage, they develop self-confidence, communication and public speaking skills, and the ability to thrive under pressure.
4. The lessons learned can last a lifetime and can benefit even those who don't outlast all competitors.
