We generally do not label any courses in any discipline as advanced courses, although some of them are. Seniors may take physics with the permission of the science teacher. Studio art is for advanced art students who are seriously interested in art as a vocation or avocation. In all courses we deliberately mix students of different learning styles so that the classroom is a lively place of multi-sensory teaching and learning, and so that students can experience multiple approaches and perspectives. Classes are small.
Academic classes have a maximum of ten students, and the average class size is under seven.
As a result, teachers know individual students well and can tailor assignments to particular students who need more challenge or more support or both.
