THE ALEXANDER SCHOOL SMALL SCHOOL.  BIG RESULTS.   The Alexander School is a premier private school offering a college preparatory curriculum in a small school setting.  Our students, in grades 7-12, enjoy a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that is most conducive to learning.  Limited enrollment ensures that each student receives the personal attention every young person deserves.  This co-educational program allows students with outside interests the time to pursue their activities without sacrificing academic excellence.
