Every Oiler belongs.

From Pre-K through Grade 12, our counselors teach weekly social-emotional learning classes built into the school schedule, with a dedicated curriculum for each grade. Our nine-person Student Support Services team provides consistent, personal care so every learner feels safe and included.

Learning for tomorrow

Design. Prototype. Build.

In our Innovation Lab, students use laser cutters and woodworking tools, learn tailoring, and build robots with VEX and REV. Our Oilers also explore augmented and virtual reality and take their skills into competition, from local events to international esports.

Early Learning

Our Early Learning program serves students in Nursery, PreK, K1 and K2.

Learn more about Early Learning

Elementary School

Students build reading, writing and math skills, and study science, social studies and world languages. Art, music, physical education, technology and library classes round out the day. They learn to analyze, question and express themselves.
