“Every class will visit the library each week to enjoy reading and improve their reading skills.

“We have our own librarian and the books that can be borrowed are all on our accelerated reader system so that we can help our students progress very effectively. For those children not ready to read yet, we’ve also invested in Tonie Boxes, which allow the children to independently access audio books to enjoy.”
