IN THEIR OWN WORDS
We aim to integrate the diversity of our city and world community into all aspects of our students' learning experiences. We emphasize cultural awareness across the disciplines. Students leave our school as socially conscious leaders, equipped with intellectual tools, academic and critical thinking skills necessary to make meaningful change in today’s dynamic, interdependent world. We prioritize small class sizes and personal relationships with students. We have a carefully selected team of teachers dedicated to the exploration of diversity, tolerance and harmony. Ninth graders take core academic subjects plus a Talent Exploratory, exposing them to the Arts, Music and Computer Technology. Students then choose one of these areas for a major in grades 10 through 12. Honors classes are available to students based on their work in grade 9.
