Small School Advantage

SJK is a small learning community by design where strong relationships are fostered and contribute to the overall student experience. Both curricular and co-curricular programming provides opportunities for our youngest and oldest students to collaborate, learn and play together. Our students, teachers, and staff know each other not only by name but also importantly by their individual passions and pursuits. This level of personal understanding enhances the shared experience and broadens the depth of the learning journey. The result—a small connected community where big ideas and a global perspective live.
