During the past eighteen years Metaphor has been building a dynamic educational environment where the individual potential of each student is met, inspired and enhanced.
While originally established as a full immersion Early Childhood Development Center, Metaphor kept focusing on a variety of Creative Programs with the purpose of enriching teaching methods and techniques, interactive engagement and hands-on learning approach.Integration of all stages of a child's education led to expanding an Immersion Preschool into Dual Language Primary and Elementary level classes with all subjects taught in two languages - English and Russian.Currently, our school offers full preschool and elementary school cycle: Pre-School and K-6 grades education.
