Facilities and Resources
Each of the school’s four instructional areas has a central pod lit by a skylight and is surrounded by four classrooms with interior glass walls. These central areas provide a space where students can enjoy working together using hands-on materials or in a small group configuration. The pods converge at "La Galerie d’Art", a central section with stairs that surround an area used for small presentations, music instruction and displaying student artwork. The installation of a small elevator provides accessibility for all students as well as members of the public. A large gym allows for an excellent program in physical education and provides space for assemblies and gatherings. A well-furnished bilingual library represents a focal point in the school. Two additional Kindergarten classrooms were added in 2013 to accommodate the Full Day Learning Program. Every classroom is equipped with built-in interactive technology.
