    • All teachers are trained in gifted education.
    • 1:1 Chromebooks in grades 3-5 for technology enhanced collaboration and learning.
    • A homework philosophy that allows for choice and family time.
    • Focus on the individual student through a Total Talent Portfolio that stays with the student year to year.

    The Environmental Academy for Research Technology of EARTH Sciences (EARThS) is dedicated to helping students acquire the tools of inquiry and expression by delving deeply into subjects with a cross-curricular approach, using earth sciences and technology as a unifying theme for exploration.

    All of our students participate in a multi-grade CCSS and Education Environment Initiative aligned outdoor education program designed to increase student awareness of the world around them and cultivate understanding and care about environmental issues.

    A unique partnership with the National Park Service led to the development of our fourth/fifth grade SHRUBS (Students Helping Restore Unique BiomeS), second/third grade SPROUTS (Students Practicing Research Outdoors Using Technology and Science), and kindergarten/first grade SEEDS (Students Experiencing the Environment by Doing Science) programs.

    Service learning is a major component of EARTHS. Student service projects include restoration, signage, habitat awareness, and litter control.
