In the preschool, the parents provided a many that was on hand to take care of the physical needs that needed to be taken care of. Older children joined the others for P.E., lunch.

| Teaching approach of the school |
School is not a factory. Each students should be approached with Dignity, Honor, Respect and Integrity. Small classes allow teachers to have time to assist each student on an individual basis. Small classes allow students to have the time to address the teacher on a daily basis - they don't have to walk away not knowing what they need to know. |
