Intermediate

Students learn to apply their academic skills, embrace a higher level of independence, and engage in arts-centered, project-based learning in all subjects.

Junior High

Navigating through significant social, physical, and academic changes, students further develop self-awareness and self-advocacy skills through immersive, rigorous learning.

High School

Students build on their strengths and passions, embrace leadership opportunities, and develop strategies to tackle what’s challenging.
