Overview Paragraph

Our motto is ‘academic, artistic, and professional preparation for the 21st Century.’ Students achieve best when learning is applied to research, experimentation, creativity, and projects. Students participate in a four-year college preparatory academic curriculum, AP courses, many college partnerships, and present a college preparatory portfolio at the end of each school year. Students study visual arts and filmmaking and complete 4 years of special arts topics seminars. Many enroll in BCAM visual, performing, and media arts. Our Advisory-Family program provides support and creates a strong peer community. Through student-centered learning and strong relationships, we nurture students' development and help them reach their potential.
