We are a small, innovative learning community with a collaborative approach to teaching and learning that seeks to empower students to become responsible leaders. We strive to make students part of a global response to preserving our environment. Every student is held to the highest standards and has constant opportunities for intellectual engagement. All students are expected to be college- and career-ready prior to graduation. We welcome parental involvement, which is essential to the success of our school. Our instructional focus is on reading and writing across all content areas. All students are expected to take a math and science course each semester.
