About
Our school feels like a college. We provide a rich and authentic learning environment that is rigorous, college and career focused, family oriented and dedicated to cultivating citizens prepared to constructively participate in the society of their time. Students can earn up to 18 college credits, and choose from Advanced Placement (AP) courses and electives (stock market, photography, journalism, music, debate, painting, drawing, dance, business, entrepreneurship, gaming, robotics, computer science, model UN, neuroscience, genetics, botany, criminology, and more). Students also gain real world experience through internships. Our curriculum fosters independence, critical thinking, and social responsibility. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school. We have career exposure pathways available for students in teaching and data science.
