Student and Community Life

As a member of our school community, students are provided with a challenging academic environment, but our focus is not confined to the four walls of a classroom. Our extra-curricular and enrichment programs extend the learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Enrichment activities enable students to focus on team-building, leadership skills, making new friendships, and building lifelong connections. We encourage our students to explore their interests and spark new ones! We also encourage parents, guardians, and friends, to joyfully participate in community events, class projects, and programs such as our Community Garden.
