FAQs

When do you provide instruction?

We begin early September and run until the the end of June the following year. We offer enrollment by Trimester (beginning September, January & April) and have one week off in each Trimester, in addition to Christmas break (3 weeks) and Santa Semana (2 weeks in April) . Our classes run from 8:30am - 2:30pm, Monday - Friday. You are welcome to enroll for any Trimester.

How many children are enrolled?

We have two classes: Elementary (1st - 6th) and Middle School (7th - 8th). 15 - 25 children each Trimester with three full-time teachers and 3-4 part-time teachers. Children are rotated into smaller classes throughout the day.

Do you provide assistance for children who need extra support or have learning disabilities?

We provide reading, writing, and math tutors to assist children who need extra support. For learning disabilities, it depends on the severity of the disability as we are not set-up to provide additional attention.

Can I enroll my child for just a couple weeks?

No. We do not allow drop-in or short-term enrollment.

Do you provide Spanish instruction?

All of our instruction is in English for the core curriculum, however, we do provide a Spanish tutor during school hours for families who want more exposure to Spanish. Since the children work at their own pace, we allow this assuming they continue to keep up with the core curriculum requirements. This option is separate from our tuition and paid directly to the tutor.

Do I need proof of vaccinations?

We do not require proof of vaccinations to enroll at this time.

Are you accredited?

We have partnered with West River Academy to provide accreditation for all students beginning Fall 2024.
