The school is very excited to announce a new After-Care program for the Grade School that will run from 3:00pm – 6:00pm daily, starting in the 2016-2017 school year. The program will include sports, science, games, music, art, playground, homework help and more.

Meredith Moseley serves as School Director and heads a staff of 18 teachers and 11 assistants to serve over 150 students in Preschool, Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade (coming in 2016-2017) classes, with additional grades planned for subsequent years. Working with teachers and parents, School Director Moseley developed a skills-appropriate curriculum that meets statewide standards while allowing sufficient flexibility for the different learning styles of students.
