In the Classrooms
Structured school days are designed to build sound foundations by meeting developmental, social, and academic needs of each child. HPS teachers are experienced and student/teacher ratios in the classrooms are kept at a minimum, which allows for hands-on, one-on-one experiences with students, and maximizes opportunities to create creative curiosity.

Children are active and enriched both physically and mentally through classes every day. The enrichments include:
- Music
- Yoga
- Spanish
- Hebrew
- Drama
- And more!
