School Notes
Strong academic foundation: We provide a strong academic
foundation that will allow students to succeed at the most rigorous
colleges. We balance humanities, sciences, mathematics, and foreign
language study. We offer performing and fine arts and PE.
Unique Focus on Thinking: We teach our students how to think.
We encourage them to ask questions, analyze information, and solve
problems. We provide students with the "thinking tools" of the
academic disciplines. They learn to ask, "How would a scientist
approach this How would a mathematician A historian " They discover
why each academic discipline poses the questions it does and when
one approach is more useful than another. In this way, students
develop effective strategies for any new situation.
Integrated and Interdisciplinary: Our program is integrated
because the world is. Students combine what they know and apply it
in new ways and contexts. A central theme for each year provides
unifying organization and allows the teaching team to create
interdisciplinary studies.
Strong Technology: We take advantage of our local high-tech
culture to provide students great opportunities to learn and use
advanced technologies. All Upper School students own Tablets PCs
and use them in the classroom.
Multiple Perspectives Are Key: Students learn that everything
can be approached from multiple perspectives, whether those of the
academic disciplines or those of people with diverse cultures and
background.
Making a Contribution: One of our goals is to prepare students
to be ethical citizens through service learning. In upper school,
students participate in Impact Projects based around the yearly
theme. These projects are designed to empower students, encourage
self-reliance, teach them to make responsible choices, and to
explore new areas. EPIC, the Eastside Prep Urban Sustainability
Project and Living Gallery will open in the fall of 2007.
