School Description
Palmer is a small school with a lot of personality. Our school offers ECE through 5th grade classes including advanced kindergarten. The student body is very diverse with from 10-12 different languages each school year. We attempt (and have been very successful) in keeping our classes small so that the upmost attention can be given to each individual child. They are each so important to us and we want to ensure that each has an excellent education.
