Our elite academic reputation is widely recognized, and our curriculum is tied to a scope and sequence, with each year building on the next so that true learning takes place. We do not emphasize standardized testing or teach to a test, but rather create an environment where students are encouraged to develop meaningful understanding of subjects. Our teachers are the driving force, with a creative approach to teaching that ensures effectiveness with each student. Curriculum is developed based on the best available research and not decided as a result of the talents or bias of a teacher or the merits of a single text or instructional tool.
