Overview Paragraph

We provide a challenging academic program to students of diverse backgrounds, achievement levels, and interests in a small, student-centered learning community. As a Community School, we partner with community-based organizations to help our students physically, mentally, and academically. Our students participate in scientific research, field-based learning, web-based communication, and problem-solving projects.
