Our Mission
About Us
Together, we strive to share the ownership of our school and the learning that takes place within it. Beyond our academic efforts to ensure every learner exceeds academic growth expectations, we hold in the forefront of our work the concept of preparing our students for a world we don’t know exists yet. Therefore, our most important work is to instill a growth mindset of learning in every student. Each one of our students must be highly adaptable to be prepared for an ever-changing world.
We're proud to be an AVID School and a John Irwin Award Winner.
