Our Program

A SOLID FOUNDATION

School assemblies at the end of each day will allow the principal to connect with students, foster a culture of brotherhood and provide lessons in character development.
Leadership skills will be woven into the curriculum and practiced throughout the day with the aim of shaping tomorrow’s thinkers and instilling in them the belief that they can make a difference in the world.
A vital ingredient to success is discipline - without it, even our best efforts can fall short. We will use the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system to teach this valuable trait.
