We provide an inquiry-based curriculum that is college-preparatory and based on a liberal arts model. Our students learn to think critically and articulate thoughts clearly by conducting independent research to form a cohesive understanding of topics.
Our students have ample opportunities to lead and enrich their educational experience through academic, extracurricular activities, and athletics. The purpose is for our students to be well-balanced people with passions beyond the classroom and understand how to contribute in team settings.
Relationships are the heart of our model. Fostered through intentionality and small class sizes, authentic relationships promote connection, establish trust, and facilitate feedback among our staff and students alike. This creates an environment where everyone takes ownership of their learning.
We strive to meet our students’ most essential needs so that they can focus on academics. We invest deeply in wraparound supports, inclusive of counseling and tutoring, and guidance, offering both college and career planning. Our staff is mindful to ensure that no student falls through the cracks.
