In our small school setting children become a part of an extended school family. We house a full day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten program. Grades PK-5 are self-contained and students in Grades 6-8 are departmentalized during a nine-period day. In addition to academics, all children receive instruction from highly-qualified staff in art, music, physical education and library skills. Results on the TerraNova, GEPA, and NJ ASK indicate superior student achievement as measured against national and state standards.
