In addition to learning foundational skills in math, science and literacy, our students gain confidence by participating in fine arts performances. After school, students can participate in extracurriculars such as Coding, Robotics, Chess, Firebird Ambassadors, Yoga, Soccer and Volleyball. There is a strong sense of teamwork and pride amongst our students and teachers.
