Overview Paragraph

We are a small, college preparatory learning environment where academic rigor is accompanied by academic and affective support. Our mission is to ensure that all students develop the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind and work to succeed in a challenging college program and a rewarding career. Our math and science classes focus on real-world themes and problems that expand studentsÂ’ understanding of the world around them; the English and social studies curriculum emphasizes articulating complex ideas and arguments in writing and speaking. Our arts program integrates traditional art practices with technology while connecting students to the artistic community in Williamsburg.
