Skills

Learning is real and relevant. Critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication take center stage in each course as students tackle real-world problems.

Character

Together, students explore their own values, engage with people who think and behave differently, and use their voice for good.

Reflection

We believe that goals and growth are far more important than grades and test scores. Time is built into in our day for students to "pause" and reflect on where they are and where they are going, and share this learning with others.
