A large part of our success lies in the dedication, care and competence of our faculty, many of whom have been with us since our inception. There are 35 full- and part-time staff, of which 20 are teaching faculty. In addition to their academic degrees, our teaching faculty have all received intensive training in the Study Technology as well as the Heron Curriculum™ and Heron Basics™ educational materials.
