Middle Years
Preparing engaged young adult leaders and learners
Students develop advanced academic skills while building the independence, confidence, and leadership abilities essential for high school success and lifelong learning.
The Social Mind
Adolescents are driven by questions of identity, justice, and their place in society. Our Middle Years program honors this developmental stage with challenging academics, meaningful community engagement, and opportunities for leadership.
