About Us

Established in 1977, our school is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, State Board of Private and Academic Schools.  We are an early childhood development center and an elementary school.  Classes offered are Nursery through Eighth Grade.

The goals of our school are four-fold.  First, we focus on helping each child develop a love for learning.  Second, we provide a learning environment and a curriculum that develop intellectual skills.  Third, we strive to help children develop a social awareness that will enable them to work and play with others.  And fourth, we encourage the acceptance of responsibility.  In essence, our goal is to have each student develop into a well-rounded, self sufficient, individual, and to be the best student he/she can be.
