Upper School

The Upper School offers a safe and dynamic learning environment that is student-centered and inquiry-based. Students explore their individual passions, guided by inspiring faculty who provide diverse opportunities for growth and development that are personalized, innovative, and caring.

Our college-preparatory curriculum offers a wide range of rich offerings in academics, arts, and athletics from which students may design their own paths. Faculty create meaningful lessons that explore enduring issues of the self and world that are relevant to students’ interests, while graduation requirements ensure that our young adults lead balanced lives of the mind, body, and spirit.

Whether it is our English Language Learner (ELL) Program and standard curriculum, which prepares students for college- and life-readiness, or our Honors and Advance Placement courses, where students may potentially earn college credit, the Upper School offers students a current, relevant, and future-oriented program all in a spirit of joy!
