作为一所被认可的独立学校, we don't have to worry about meeting arbitrary St和ard of Learning (SOL) levels which many public school teachers 一直认为 是不是学习成功的有效衡量标准. 而不是担心正确答案, 我们专注于教学生问正确的问题，并且经常问. 我们的小班授课可以让学生更深入地学习科目, 个性化的课程, 我们的老师可以灵活地根据需要加快或放慢速度. 简单地说:我们的老师教的是精通，而不是应试. We've learned that 'good' isn't good enough when it comes to a child's underst和ing.
