Upper School

6th-12th Grade

Engaging, Research-Based Learning Led by Qualified Educators

At our school, we believe in providing an exceptional educational experience, with every course taught by qualified, passionate educators who use research-backed methods to make learning come alive.

Our on-campus days are designed to foster hands-on, teacher-directed group learning, allowing students to collaborate and actively engage with the material in a supportive environment. On home days, students will have access to comprehensive materials that help them reflect on what they've learned and prepare for the upcoming lessons. This seamless blend of on-campus and home learning creates a well-rounded, enriching educational experience that keeps students motivated and on track.

In addition to core subjects, students can explore two electives each day and have the option to study a second language, offering them the opportunity to personalize their learning journey and develop a wide range of skills.
