Special Programs
What Sets Us Apart
Our school serves students from Preschool to grade 12, and provides a safe
emotional haven during their first school years in America. Students are grouped for
instruction by grades, levels of English proficiency, and their individual needs.
• Students in grades PreK-8 exit the school based on individual academic progress
at the end of the first or second school year to an elementary school of their
choice.
• High school students receive an individualized secondary curriculum designed to
help them graduate — from this school or another high school of choice — and
ensure a successful academic pathway to college and career.
