Our inaugural year started with 12 students, divided into two classes. It later grew to 17 students - ten (10) in our older group and seven (7) in our younger group.. With the advantage of small class sizes, our students were able to grow tremendously in their first year.
​
- 83% demonstrated at least one full year of academic growth
- 73% demonstrated at least 1.5 years of academic growth

2021-2022
Our second full school year started off with a bang with enrollment more than doubling from the start of year 1. Our school now consists of 30 kids divided evenly in three classes. Our kids are projected to achieve the following by the end of the school year:
