As a college-preparatory school, we offer a challenging curriculum which encourages our students to become life-long critical thinkers and insures success at whatever college or university our students choose to attend.
We have high expectations of our students, but we also make sure that each student receives the support he or she needs to attain those expectations.
Our faculty members have impressive academic credentials, but much more important is their commitment to helping young people become excited about learning and helping them navigate the complex world of adolescence.
