The school describes its program as a seven-year journey through K to 6, with multi-age grouping, learning expeditions, camping trips, service learning and a summer camp. Specialist classes include art, music, physical education, Spanish, library and STEAM. An Enrichment and Extended Care program runs before and after the school day.
