Our students learn that their voice, their thoughts, and their interests are valued and valuable. This builds their self-confidence and independence.

Our small community means that your child is in a physically & emotionally safe & caring environment absent of traditional safety issues like bullying.

We support your child’s ability to make their own choices, learn from those choices, and grow socially and emotionally.
