The K–8 Academy is a unique student-centered school that ensures that every student is known in a small group setting. We have two learning communities: Grey Wolf Pack, kindergarten–5th grade, and Red Wolf Pack, 6th–8th grade.

Each classroom is outfitted with the latest in instructional technology including a SMART Board and AirLiner, a projector, a document camera and a 2:1 student-to-laptop ratio. Each team has access to digital cameras, video cameras, proscopes, a music technology lab and computer lab, all in a building that has wireless internet access.
