Summary: Our goal in the Upper School is to prepare our students for success in college and in life. We believe that students must learn to be creative thinkers who can solve problems and adapt to new challenges. Our Upper School students benefit from an extensive and academically rigorous array of course offerings structured in a college-like schedule, including an Honors Program, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB). We believe that balance is critical to a healthy and successful education, and we offer a wide range of extracurricular opportunities for our Upper School students to explore their passions in the arts, athletics and various student organizations, clubs, and associations. The flexibility of our college-like block schedule allows students to optimize their time in the classroom while offering them time to further explore their passions. From internships to competitions and special projects, students embark on a variety of experiential opportunities. This special schedule also accommodates the demanding schedules of our elite athletes and artists.
