The Saklan School is a Preschool through 8th Grade Independent School offering small class sizes and one class per grade level. Saklan's mission is to challenge students to THINK creatively, ACT compassionately and LIVE courageously. Since 1954, Saklan has offered a well-rounded education with Foreign Language, Music, Science, Physical Education and Art classes taught at every grade level. In addition, public speaking, leadership skills, experiential learning and teamwork are integrated into our curriculum. Strong connections with teachers ignite students' passion for learning and develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
