| Overview Paragraph | Our school was founded on the idea that students who can express themselves in writing can succeed in any path. In addition to the challenging academic work offered, we are committed to providing learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Our students participate in a rigorous inquiry-based college preparatory curriculum, regular field trips to arts institutions, overnight trips to universities, SAT prep, and enriching community-building activities. Our student services team connects students to jobs, internships, and programs that allow them to travel all over the world. We celebrate hard work, curiosity, self-expression, and service. Our graduates are critical readers and writers, fully prepared to maximize their learning and growth. |
