Family Camping Trip

Families who camp together, grow together. The Family Camping Trip at Little Basin quickly became one of most popular school community events and is now held annually. Organized by a parent committee, the event features shared meals around a campfire, hikes, music, games and more.

Movie Nights

The Fall and Spring Movie Nights draw crowds of pajama-clad children to enjoy a meal, popcorn and movies with friends. With a short film for younger children and a longer movie for older students, everyone is sure to have fun.

Chinese New Year Celebration

The Chinese New Year Celebration is the signature cultural event of the year for the entire school community. Students, parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty and staff all come together to celebrate the start of the Lunar New Year. Donning traditional Chinese costumes, students from our youngest preschoolers to our middle schoolers perform songs, dances, skits, poems and more to showcase the richness of Chinese culture.
