Why the Academy for Elementary School?
We are committed to helping every student build a strong foundation in literacy, math, science and critical thinking. Through a STEAM-infused curriculum, our youngest learners are encouraged to explore, create, and collaborate across subjects as they develop both core skills and a love of learning.

Our STEAM-focused curriculum includes hands-on experiences with LEGO First League and VEX Robotics, introducing students to coding and robotics early on to ensure a smooth transition to middle and high school. We are also working to launch a competitive elementary robotics team, aligning with the advanced opportunities available at the high school level. Guided by dedicated teachers and staff, we foster a supportive and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential.
