We’re excited to share a new, streamlined way for K–8 families to enroll with us. Getting started is easier than ever — simply click the “Enroll Now” button located in the top corner of our website and follow the step‑by‑step instructions provided there.
This updated process is designed to be clear, quick, and convenient, helping families move through enrollment with confidence. We’re looking forward to welcoming new students and supporting you every step of the way.

We’re easing into the winter term with a gentle start for our K–8 students. This first week of home learning gives everyone time to settle back into routines, reconnect with their studies, and prepare for the transition back to onsite classes next week. It’s a calm, flexible way to begin the new term while still keeping learning moving forward.
Our high school students are diving into their January “J‑Term,” a focused stretch of learning that encourages curiosity, exploration, and deeper engagement in unique subjects.
We’re excited to welcome everyone into a new season of growth, whether they’re learning from home this week or jumping into J‑Term adventures. Here’s to a strong and steady start to winter learning.

January’s character trait is perseverance, and it’s the perfect theme for this time of year. Winter can bring shorter days, tougher routines, and moments when learning feels a little harder. But it also offers wonderful opportunities for students to practice sticking with challenges, trying again, and discovering their own resilience.
This month, we’re celebrating the small steps, the brave attempts, and the steady progress that help children grow. Whether they’re tackling a new skill, pushing through a tricky assignment, or simply showing up with determination, our students are learning that perseverance helps them shine even on the coldest days.
Here’s to a month of courage, effort, and the confidence that comes from not giving up. Just like our school mascot- the tardigrade!
