Curriculum K-12

Our curriculum is easily accessible through Canvas, our Learning Management System (LMS).
We warmly invite parents to join Canvas as "Parent Observers."
This way, you can keep track of assignment deadlines, announcements, and other course materials.
If you're interested in more deeply discussing specific curriculum maps or syllabi, please contact the applicable Director –  they're more than happy to assist!
