K-8 ACADEMY CAMPUS ELEMENTARY K-8 Academy students come ready to learn and leave ready to lead. By utilizing diverse teaching strategies and exposing students to a wide variety of educational experiences, each child participates, understands, and enjoys learning. Well-rounded studies include a strong visual and performing arts program and exposure to foreign language beginning in Kindergarten.

MIDDLE SCHOOL Students begin their path through adolescence during middle school. A critical time where personal identity and opinions are developed through questioning their environments within the larger world and testing levels of independence.

Our faculty believes that the partnership between the teacher, student and family is the foundation for leading this self-discovery. By supporting students in taking risks, making mistakes and learning from those life lessons, we work to teach both academics and how they can be a positive impact.

Students explore two years of engineering and applied business education at the middle school level.

HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL Our rigorous Academy of the Arts and Academy of Science & Technology programs encourage students to question, debate, challenge and learn from the world around them. Our student-centered curriculum inspires students to pursue their passions, encourages risk-taking and creative problem solving in the classroom, and emphasizes the importance of intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. Th rough our technology rich, one-to-one computing environment we work to engage our highly motivated students as they progress through our rigorous college preparatory program.

99% College Acceptance In our first four years, 99% of graduates received acceptance to a college or university of their choice.
