Summary: We believe it's not just about what you learn; it's how you learn it, which is why we blend the essential elements of a college preparatory education with experiential learning. By remotely participating in open heart surgery, building and sailing cardboard boats, and role-playing historical leaders, our students acquire real -world skills that help them become problem solvers who embrace challenges and take risks. And because our students get their hands dirty (sometimes literally), our vigorous curriculum has real staying power. Our unique approach allows students to direct their own education and seek individual support from teachers, mentors, and peers.
