Spanish for the higher grades is now fully conversational, with grammar imbedded
More volunteers than ever – parents, friends, all vetted – help in classes and after-school clubs. We now have 9 once-weekly after-school clubs, with the new handball club joining engineering, math, board games, and more
Our biggest transition: We are buying the wonderful Preston building that we’ve leased since 2012! Three banks have offered us mortgage terms for our selection. We have comprehensive plans for servicing the mortgage as we also build a future with more students and carefully planned remodeling.
