I am truly honored to serve as the Head of school for the 2023-2024 academic year.  It is a privilege for me to work alongside our dedicated administration team as we prepare for an exciting school year for both our new and returning students.  We have “dared to dream” as we have been diligently planning for a school year filled with growth, exploration, and endless possibilities.  Now, I invite each and every one of you to dream big with us, as we believe that when parents, teachers, and students work together, the sky is the limit. As we embark on this new school year, I want to assure you that our dedicated team is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children.  We have implemented comprehensive health and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of our students, staff, and families.

I am grateful for your continued support and partnership, and I look forward to a successful and rewarding school year ahead.
