STUDENT TRAVEL & INTERNATIONAL STUDY PROGRAMS
Broaden global perspectives, build relationships, practice skills and apply knowledge beyond the confines of campus.
STEM
State of the art facilities like the Makerspace and planetarium and a yearly STEM conference that brings industry professionals to campus to promote understanding and stoke passions in various scientific fields.
CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES
Over 80 clubs and co-curricular activities that help students explore interests, practice leadership and build new relationships.
A better understanding of self often requires confronting preconceptions and embracing new experiences. At 10600 Preston Road, Marksmen are challenged with curricula designed to inspire, motivate and stretch. Students often ‘discover’ hidden talents and interests by taking diverse areas of study, being exposed to unique life experiences and following the sage advice of faculty. A gifted athlete with a knack for acting or a science scholar who is also a talented fine artist is common on campus. IT’S A PRODUCT OF EDUCATING THE ‘WHOLE BOY.’
