We Meet Students’ Academic Needs & Passions

All of our students participate in focused, small group instruction each day during  Target Time. Additional credentialed teachers work with our classroom teachers to ensure each student receives a "just right" fit—whether that’s extra support, grade-level practice, or academic enrichment.

Small class sizes ensure all students receive the support they need to achieve academic success:

• In grades K-3 our average class size is 21 to 1
• Six additional credentialed teachers support student academic intervention and enrichment
• English Language Development
• Kindness Certified School 2018
• GATE (Gifted and Talented Education)
• Character Development for all students
• After-School Tutoring available with Walnut teachers
• On-site child care is available to students from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (based on availability)
