What Makes Our School Unique?

In addition to English, our teachers speak languages including Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and American and Spanish Sign Language. Our teaching staff is encouraged to relate all lessons to real life in order for the students to understand why they are completing a task or project, but more importantly, they are developing a better cultural awareness.
