Education in Virtues
We not only care about your child’s academics but also their character. At the beginning of the 2021-22 school year we implemented a new curriculum: Education in Virtues: Training students to live a Virtuous Life. This has been an excellent piece of the puzzle, when it comes to discipline and behavior issues in our student body.
