How
large is your student body?
We have over 150 students in Grades Kindergarten
through Grade 8. There is just one class at each grade.
Our intention is to have no more than 25 students in
each grade.
How
large is your faculty?
We have 12 full-time faculty members
and 6 part-time.
What
about financial aid?
Since we are a small school, we have limited resources for financial aid. New families are not eligible for aid. Current families may apply in the spring. We do offer a discounted tuition rate for multiple children.
Do
you accept students with learning difficulties?
We do accept some students with learning issues. It
depends on the severity of the student's need, the
ways the student has already learned to compensate
and the other needs currently in that particular class.
Often students
with learning differences require outside services
in language processing, reading, math or in writing.
We are not equipped to provide these services but
often the parents will hire specialists to come into
the school during the school day to work with their
child.
Students
who are ADHD need to have an effective behavior modification
program in place to support their own and their class'
academic progress.
Do
you have After-School Care?
We have an AFTER CARE HOMEWORK and RECREATION Club
in order to meet the needs of the families who are
unable to pick up their children at dismissal time.
The hours of operation are 3:00 to 6:00. (Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) On Wednesdays (or
other early dismissal days) the hours are 1:20 – 6:00.
The cost is $3.00 an hour calculated daily and billed
monthly. There is a 10% discount for the second child
and a 20% discount for the third child.
Do
you have a full day Kindergarten?
No and yes… for years we offered two half-day programs - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Beginning with the 2010-11 school year - we plan to have one half-day Kindergarten session
from 8:25 – 12:00.
For those families in need of full-day care there will be - a time for lunch followed by age-appropriate activities in the afternoon from 12:00 until 3:00 with the Kindergarten teacher. These activities will not be part of the Kindergarten program so that students who go home at noon will not be missing Kindergarten curriculum activities. There is an additional charge for the afternoon session.
After 3:00, Kindergarten students may be enrolled in the regular Aftercare program.
How
do students rate nation-wide in standardized testing?
We are very pleased with our standardized testing
scores. Our students take the Stanford 10
Achievement Test. Many of our students score well-above
grade level when compared with the national averages.
These tests were taken in November of 2009. Click Here to see the results.
