A place where children feel at home...
Perkins is a child-centered environment.
Our goal is to encourage a hunger for knowledge and a zest for learning by providing children with what they need to thrive.

Small
class size, exceptional teachers...
Children learn best in small classes, where they are known and appreciated as individuals. Perkins' small class size, limited to fifteen students at the grade school and ten at the preschool, fosters learning and social growth. Our experienced teachers incorporate a variety of teaching techniques, ensuring that each child's learning style is addressed and enhanced.
