During the tour take the time to learn about our school and get any questions you have answered by our wonderful staff. Feel free to bring your child with you to get to know the school, students, and staff!

Please note that scheduled appointments are preferred over walk-ins due to the nature school schedule and the availability of staff. Walk-ins are still welcome to look around but may not have available staff to answer your questions fully, guide you through the rooms, and discuss our programs with you.
