I have had a great experience working with some amazing teachers that care about their students and the community. The teachers at Namaste give it their all for the students and strive to make strong connections with their parents. The principal also strives to build strong relationships.

This school provides students with disabilities the support and accommodations they require. Teachers at this school are respectful, and supportive, and motivate their students to learn. The school also welcomes and includes families as partners in their children's learning

Strong school community. Consistently great teachers who treat students as individuals and really work hard to support them academically, emotionally, and socially. Extended school day with an hour of movement each day along with before and after school options.
