Overview Paragraph

The mission of our school is to provide students with an in-depth, well-rounded education that emphasizes science and mathematics. Classroom teaching and learning are complemented with authentic, inquiry-based research experiences. The combination of research and teaching experience prepares students to become critical thinkers and problem solvers who pursue careers in biological sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, and veterinary sciences. The physical, emotional, and social well-being of our student body is nurtured through advisories, community service, and a small and personalized learning community.
