The mastery learning model is a gold standard in education.
We offer world-class education to our students, it is exciting to be a part of it.
Established in 2006, our school culture is warm and supportive, a true community of students, teachers, and parents.

Enrollment is continuous, with new families enrolling year-round.

The ideal person is a team builder, critical thinker, and creative problem solver, who helps to build the community and creates a sense of belonging among staff, students, and parents.
