  • Full accreditation by the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools
  • Data-driven instruction and use of robust data analysis to monitor classroom results and student growth, enabling us to rapidly adjust to student needs
  • Network-wide implementation of the research-based math curriculum Eureka Math to improve student achievement in mathematics
  • Network-wide implementation of top-rated English Language Arts (ELA) curriculums: CKLA for Pre-K and EL Education for K-8
