We believe that every child has unique gifts, talents and abilities .  We have developed the Star program to focus on developing these talents in each child.  The program is unique in that it focuses on identifying and developing each student's strengths, areas in which they show natural aptitude and interest. Traditionally, teaching often centers around those areas in which students are deficient or need to improve. Alternatively, the STAR Program focuses on the positive and allows students to build on their innate strengths.

The STAR Program strives to develop each child's potential and interests. We focus on who these students are as individuals and on which areas they are especially strong. We then allow them to develop these talents in a supportive environment.

Through Their Eyes was a project directed by Paula Moore and Karen Katsir in October 2005.  Each child was given a camera and given the freedom to take pictures without direction.  The photographs below were taken during an afternoon at Indian Springs Park in San Mateo and while strolling through downtown San Mateo.  This exhibit allows you to experience the world through the eyes of each child.
