As a Pre-K through 5th grade program only, we know exactly what children need in their most formative years.

We use the Direct Instruction program, a national, proven, research-driven curriculum designed to ensure every student masters reading and becomes confident readers.

We customize your child’s learning by placing students in groups based on individual needs for more help or more enrichment. Frequent assessment allows our teachers and instructional coaches to know exactly what your child’s academic strengths and challenges are.

Our Restorative Practices program is a whole-school approach and the foundation of our safe, supportive culture and community. This daily program teaches young children to problem solve and interact positively, peacefully, and respectfully. The Core Knowledge curriculum successfully moves young learners from learning to read” to “reading to learn.”

Built in 2021 on the site of the original 1931 Govans Elementary School, our new, modern building gives students, teachers, and families the very best in modern learning environments with flexible spaces that adapt to diverse learning needs.
