-
improve their critical thinking, problem solving, perspective-taking, and research skills.

develop awareness of cultural diversity and global issues.
and
-
entrepreneurship in a global market.
Committed to Service
Research has shown that students who engage in community service are more responsible with higher self-esteem and resilience. Beginning in grade 3, our students will be able to participate in volunteering opportunities. This will help our students gain new skills necessary for the job market such as leadership, communication skills, dependability, time management, and decision making. As a result of these opportunities, our students will perform better in school, as well as have a greater appreciation for what they have.
Foreign Languages
To provide our future global leaders exposure to the world abroad, our students will take foreign language classes. Research has shown that acquiring a second language improves memory and increases attention span for students. The process of becoming bilingual helps students to exercise the brain, challenge them to concentrate and boost their problem solving skills. As such, our bilingual students will score higher on standardized tests, especially in the areas of vocabulary, reading and math.
