The school offers a Montessori education with programs for Infant-Toddler (6 weeks-3 years), Children's House (3 years-Kindergarten), Lower Elementary (1st-3rd Grade), Upper Elementary (4th-6th Grade), and Middle School (7th-8th Grades). The Montessori philosophy emphasizes a three-year cycle with the same teachers, individualized learning, and an intentionally designed learning environment.
