Program Description:
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 – 5rd grade and the Red Wolf Pack: 6th-8th grade. We believe that through the integration of arts and technology, students can attain knowledge and skills that will pave the road for future academic success. Each classroom is outfitted with the latest in instructional technology including: a Smartboard, a projector, an airliner, 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.
