"St. Nicholas School offers a unique educational program designed to foster a love of learning, and its students consistently meet or surpass national standards and benchmarks. Visitors should not expect to see neat rows of desks as in a traditional setting. Instead, they will see students actively engaged in their work and participating in stations set up throughout classrooms.
"Founded on the principles of the Episcopal Church, St. Nicholas emphasizes love and respect for all humans, moral integrity, spiritual growth, compassion and responsibility. Students of all religious and cultural backgrounds are welcome," officials said.
