We have developed an innovative curriculum that is designed to meet the needs of a diverse student population. Our curriculum is designed to challenge students intellectually, while also fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Examples: 

Upper-Level Grade 8:  

Literature & History Integration with Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

• Output - Literary analysis, reflective journaling, and Socratic discussion

• Outcome - Students gain historical understanding of race, gender, and identity through period literature

• Impact - Students compare and contrast Hurston’s cultural themes with contemporary issues of identity, equity, and voice   

Lower-Level Grade 5:

Social‑Emotional Literacy & Community Building with Grumpy Monkey: School Stinks! by Suzanne Lang

• Input (Lens) - Exploring emotions, identity, and belonging through a character who feels misunderstood- validating the real experiences.

• Activity - Students read Grumpy Monkey: School Stinks! and analyze the author's feelings about returning to school. Identify moments of frustration, embarrassment, and support, then connect these to their own school experiences.

• Output - Emotion‑mapping, brief reflective writing, and a class discussion on how communities can help when school “stinks.”

• Outcome - Students build emotional vocabulary, recognize triggers and strengths, and practice empathy by examining how characters navigate big feelings.

• Impact –   Students compare Jim’s journey with their own experiences of feeling out of place - strengthening self‑awareness, regulation, and community connection.

Our school community is diverse and inclusive, and we celebrate the unique perspectives and backgrounds of our students. We believe that a diverse student body enriches the learning experience for all students.

We are committed to being an active and engaged member of our local community. We believe that education is a partnership between the school, students, parents, and the community, and we work hard to foster positive relationships with all stakeholders.
