IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Our motto is "academic, creative and professional preparation for the 21st Century." We provide our students and families with a small, personalized high school experience. Student learning is applied to the real world through research, experimentation and project-oriented work. Their learning is then displayed in written, visual and oral exhibitions. Every student is also part of our Advisory-Family program, which investigates critical issues in teen lives and creates a strong peer community. In addition, our students receive intensive career and college preparation with an arts/media specialization via electives, trips and internships. They are required to complete an individualized graduation portfolio. Our goal is to help our students reach their potential and nurture their development through student-centered learning approaches, multiple supports and most importantly, strong relationships.
