Curriculum at its best is dynamic and is continually reviewed, a direct reflection of our dynamic student body and ever-evolving experience with them.
  • Course offerings in the Upper School change with the student body. The content of the class determines the curriculum focus for a class. Applied Math was offered when a significant number of students needed this option. Hands-on intermediate level biology was offered to reach a number of visual learners. Student input created certain courses: Senior Seminar, Tolkein, and HIV Outreach among others.

  • The Upper School curriculum includes no standardized tests. We meet students where they are and don’t teach according to the guidelines of any state mandated exam.

Teachers assess curriculum
at a staff meeting.
  • Classes are taught in a spirit of open inquiry. Students are challenged to think critically and creatively and seek answers on their own.
