Explore & Play

We champion exploration and play in our Pre-K program and believe these early years lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and emotional growth. Our students thrive in small, intimate classrooms, benefitting from personalized attention and are well prepared to flourish in our comprehensive program from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade. All of our lead teachers hold master's degrees in Early Childhood Education, and we are proud to be the only Pre-K program in Little Rock accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

Middle School

Fostering a Vibrant & Supportive Community

Middle School fosters a vibrant and supportive community for all of our students! Our curriculum is designed to inspire creativity and growth, with Exploratory Design classes that encourage hands-on learning and innovative thinking; an advisory program that includes the Social Institute and a Developmental Designs curriculum to help students prioritize social and emotional development; and even student-led conferences that empower students to take ownership of their own education, promoting self-reflection and goal setting.

Students in the sixth grade engage in a dedicated writing class as well as have the opportunity to explore arts through the Choice Wheel, which allows them to experience Choir, Instrumental Music, Art, and Theatre. This exploration helps them identify their passions for deeper study in seventh and eighth grade.
