A Word From Our Principal:

Welcome Back, Families!

I am so excited for the 2025-26 school year to start. We have spent our summer working on trying to get a “Location and Extent” from Jefferson County in order to occupy the new building that is halfway between our two campuses at 19316 Goddard Ranch Ct. Currently, we are slotted to go before the Jefferson County Commission on August 27. We do not have a time, but once we have more information, we would love to have your support in attending the meeting. We are wanting to provide as much stability for our families as possible. If we are given the opportunity to lease the space on Goddard Ranch Ct., we will move in as soon as we can get the building ready. More details will be sent out as they are available. We think this space would be so awesome because it would allow us to provide more community-building activities, showcase your children’s work, and provide a hub for our school. 

Please reach out to me with any questions!
