Overview Paragraph

Founded on the principles of the Coalition of Essential Schools, this school offers a personalized learning community in which teachers and students develop trust and high expectations. Our courses are inquiry-based and help students develop critical thinking, research, and analytical skills. Our four-year advisory curriculum focuses on the academic development, skills, and knowledge necessary for college. In our Office of College Placement, students work with full-time counselors to explore post-secondary goals and complete college and scholarship applications. Since 2008, our graduates have gone on to succeed in city, state, and private colleges, and are pursuing careers in business, media, social work, education, and technical fields.
