Student Handbook

welcome to the 2026-2027 school year

Curiosity • Compassion • Courage

A young girl with dark hair rests her head on a book while writing with a green pencil, with blurred figures and headphones in the background.

A young boy in a running uniform sprints forward with a determined expression, while a blurred arm reaches out in the foreground and a residential street with parked cars and onlookers forms the background.

A young girl in a yellow shirt holds up a small glass vial with a golden object inside, while a blurred classroom environment with colorful decorations is visible in the background.
