the moral, technological and global challenges of the 21st century. Balmoral

enriched/compacted courses in LA and Math. The school also offers a strong fine
arts program, French as a second language, a diverse options program, annual
musical, and participation in inter-school athletics. Students have access to
three technology labs, including two wireless mobile labs. Character education
forms the foundation for expectations with an emphasis on virtues, positive
values, and respect for self, others and the environment.

standards through continuous professional improvement. The TLC program uses
