We are a top private school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since 1995, we have provided exceptional private education from 3 years through 5th grade. Parents love our warm and enthusiastic teachers, our rigorous curriculum, and our understanding of the needs of each child. Our teachers thoughtfully adapt lessons to make sure instruction stays engaging, appropriately challenging, and relevant to every student. We believe that a complete private education goes beyond core subjects. This is why we also offer classes in art, music and drama, STEM, Spanish, and physical education. Our curriculum is built on engaging content that instills a lifelong love of learning. We take field trips to help our students make real-world connections with the lessons they learn in the classroom. We have visited the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, the North Carolina Zoo, and the Kaleideum Museum. Children receive the best possible education when parents are involved. We offer various ways to stay connected, including weekly e-newsletters, one-on-one meetings, and teacher emails. Effective communication is a cornerstone of our school community. I look forward to meeting with you, learning about your child’s educational needs, and discussing how we can work together to meet them.
