Learning for the Future
 High school
students begin their college preparatory academic program by taking core
courses in English, math, history, science and a foreign language. As students
progress beyond the ninth grade, those with exceptional abilities in various
academic areas will be challenged by the Honors/Advanced Placement courses. All
high school students use laptop computers on our wireless network to produce
the highest quality work. A wide range of athletic, travel, and
extra-curricular activities allows students to develop their leadership,
teamwork, and artistic abilities both on campus and within the larger
community.
