About
Our mission is to develop confident readers, writers, and speakers who are connected to and supported by the school community. We prepare students for college with a liberal arts curriculum focused on writing, critical thinking, and peer discussion. We give them the opportunity to connect with their passions through elective coursework in the arts, sciences, and humanities. Our nurturing school culture encourages reflection, collaboration, and project-based learning. Regardless of entry program, students have a common 9th grade experience and opt-in to honors coursework starting their sophomore year.
