Powered by AMP/edu


Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.

Core Subjects & Electives

Technology-enhanced classrooms, equipped with Smartboards and individual Chromebooks, help bring learning to life. Enrichment in the arts and physical education rounds out a well-balanced school day focused on whole-child development.

English Language Arts

ELA instruction strengthens reading, writing, and communication skills across all grade levels. Through daily reading, writing practice, and vocabulary building, students learn to express themselves with clarity and confidence.

Math

Students build a strong foundation in math through hands-on problem-solving and interactive instruction. Lessons are designed to develop number sense, critical thinking, and real-world application.

Science

Science is taught through exploration, inquiry, and experimentation. Students learn to observe, question, and discover key concepts in Earth, physical, and life sciences.

Social Studies

Students explore civics, geography, history, and culture to understand how communities work and how individuals can make a difference. Lessons encourage awareness, empathy, and engagement with the world.

Physical Education

Students participate in regular PE that promotes movement, teamwork, and lifelong wellness. Activities help build coordination, confidence, and self-discipline.

Art

Fine Arts instruction gives students the opportunity to express themselves creatively and build appreciation for visual and performing arts. Projects develop fine motor skills and creative confidence.

Social-Emotional Learning & Life Skills

Using the Be Good People curriculum, students engage in daily lessons focused on emotional regulation, respectful relationships, and decision-making. Life skills are intentionally taught to help students thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Instructional Model

Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:

Individualized Instruction

Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.

Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers

Our teachers meet the educator qualification requirements outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.

More Time on Task

Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.

Short Cycle Assessments

Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
