Why a K-8 School?
A K-8 school is a place where kids can remain “kids” until they are ready for high school, without the pressures of acting as they think older teenagers should behave.

Without high school students on campus, the needs of our elementary and Middle School students remain primary. Our Middle School students are the leaders of student government, drama productions, science demonstrations, all-school presentations, and athletic teams.

Our program is tailor-made for this age group: five-year-olds to fourteen-year-olds. Our sole focus is our students' intellectual and character development during this crucial time in childhood. In 2008-2009, our eighth graders found that, as usual, they were admitted to the high schools of their choice. Acceptances for the Class of 2009 included Lick-Wilmerding, College Preparatory School, Bentley, Urban, and Head-Royce.
