Our school’s mission is to provide hands-on, authentic learning in all content areas focused on the development of the whole child, through integration of the arts, environmental studies, multiculturalism and technology.
We are a multilingual, diverse school of community of parents, students, teachers, staff, community, and external partners as a family of learners.
We have a hands-on curriculum-based literacy, math, science and social studies program that comes alive through fine and performing arts, environmental studies, and technology.
We celebrate and nurture cultural diversity, family history, life experience, language, in a culture of social awareness, change, and action.
We inspire and promote a positive school community culture, school leadership, shared decision making, collaboration, and external and parent partnerships.
