Professional Leadership

We like to think of the school as “The Learning Difference,” a place that makes an enormous difference in the lives of students who learn in different ways. In fact, differences abound here. Our student/teacher ratio of 6:1 is part of the reason for our success. We utilize research-based teaching methodologies and develop a highly individualized curriculum for each of our students.
