A very welcoming atmosphere is created in our primary grades. Our students receive a well-rounded foundation in many areas in their early years: religious, academic, social, collaborative learning, yet retaining a healthy sense of individuality and critical thinking. The academic push is increased incrementally each year.  In Grade 5, our students transition between our primary and upper grades. Students have the security of a homeroom teacher they see, while beginning the experience of having specialists for major subjects. They receive enough of a push to assure a successful transition to the upper grades.
