plans are subject to a comprehensive set of standards related to curriculum,
instruction, personnel, school climate, administration, outreach, and
facilities. Our accreditation has been verified by an external team of

| How does a multi-grade classroom work? | |
| A teacher in a
multi-grade classroom (for instance, grades 1-4) balances direct instruction

All grades learn their own material and are taught to study both
independently and cooperatively. Classroom visits can be scheduled to
demonstrate how this works. |

Eighth Graders have in-class high-speed internet access. |
