Mission
Our mission is to establish and maintain a unique learning environment that incorporates the A+ Philosophy of the integration of the arts, and connects it to each student’s individuality based on Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. This environment is to be enriched through both parental and community involvement, in order to best teach the whole child by bringing and blending the strengths of each child’s world view and culture into the instruction of the classroom.

Parents and others should note that the information in the School Report Card, while important, cannot tell you the entire story about a school. Other important factors — the extra hours put in by teachers preparing for class and grading assignments, the school spirit felt by families, the involvement in sports, arts, or other extracurriculars - are crucial aspects of a school community, but are not reflected on the Report Card.
