Future Plans
We recently signed a contract to purchase a 64,000 square foot building which will likely accommodate around 285 students. We are still finalizing the details with the city but if all goes well, God-willing, we will be able to move in at the end of 2024 or beginning of 2025.
Challenges
We are a Montessori-based school for our lower school (up to 5th grade) so finding Montessori-trained teachers is a challenge. Finances are always a challenge given that the upper school doesn’t have enough students to cover the expenses needed to pay teachers and cover associated costs. We have a waiting list for the lower school due to limited spacing in our current facility.
