The campus offers a traditional school day to elementary students in kindergarten through third grade, with a flexible curriculum that is adaptable to students’ different academic strengths and learning styles. Students are regularly consulted about goal-setting and pacing for individual learning. The school uses data-tracking to ensure students are getting the best education possible. The James and Jean Stewart Campus offers a variety of services it calls Parent School. Every parent of a student in any of the campus’ programs can access social workers, family advocates, career guidance, counseling, a food pantry and one-time emergency aid funds.

A blind lottery will then be held to fill the remaining seats.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
