Our school is unique because we teach scholars ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade. The instructional model is especially effective in rural areas because an enrolling kindergarten scholar will have the opportunity to experience the global culture and leadership focus that our school offers for the entirety of their elementary and middle school journey. By the time our scholars enter high school, they are performing well above their peers in other schools and have been taught the leadership skills that will make them successful in a globalized and diverse world.
Highlights from our K-8 Approach: 
- Each classroom is assigned a buddy classroom. This allows are older scholars to serve as mentors to our younger scholars.
- Our scholars learn our behavioral and academic expectations at a young age. This greatly helps with the transition from elementary to middle school.
- Each month our older and younger classrooms collaborate and work together to design projects related to our monthly global theme.
- The K-8 model promotes strong, positive relationships between scholars and teachers.
