We are located in Williamsburg. Our schoolÂ’s partnerships with colleges, corporations, and community organizations provide students with many opportunities to work in business settings. We prepare all students to participate fully in the complex world they will enter upon graduation. School service, community service projects, and internship requirements help our students hone the skills they need to achieve excellence. We utilize a project-oriented, student-centered approach, which focuses on helping students create and reach their own goals.
