We set high standards for our elementary students and provide the instruction, support and home-school connection to help every child achieve. Our goal is to develop the student’s life-long interest in, responsibility to, and independence with learning. Our small class size with a teacher/student ratio of 1/16 is the foundation of our goal. Each day begins with Morning Meeting, which builds not only listening, speaking and reading skills, but also respect, acceptance and problem solving abilities. We utilize standardized and curriculum-based testing to determine the individual learning needs of our students and to monitor their growth. At any given time, you can observe teachers conducting whole group, small group and one-on-one instruction. This individualization of the student’s educational program is our hallmark. Our curriculum is based upon the Virginia Standards of Learning and exceeds those standards for all programs.
