The school offers an accelerated academic program, rich in the arts and music, for motivated and eager learners. The Academy promotes academic excellence, creativity, and self-expression.
Uncommon Excellence of Thought and Character in a Vibrant
School Community
The Academy's mission is to develop thoughtful, ambitious and
deep learners. We honor each student's individuality, develop their
sense of personal responsibility, respect for others, integrity and
commitment to service and citizenship in a global society.
We are a small, independent K-8 school with a 50-year legacy of
providing our students with a rich and rigorous curriculum in a fun
and nurturing environment. Each class K-5 has approximately twelve
students, and each class 6-8 has approximately fifteen. We believe
that our small class sizes best allow our experienced and
passionate teachers to engage all of our students in thoughtful
exploration and discussion of foundational concepts across subjects
and grade levels.
Our traditional approach to education, which includes immersive
French instruction K-8 and Latin instruction 6-8, is complemented
by our commitment to fostering social-emotional intelligence in our
students, and instilling within each student a capacity for global
awareness. Students leave The Academy not only exceptionally
well-prepared for the next phase of their studies, but also
well-equipped to understand and address challenges on local and
global scales.

Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
