The
academic abilities of our diverse student body vary, however all students are
committed to reaching their full potential. In the high school years of our
program (grades 9 through 12) students access a range of rigorous academic
program. Access to the numerous Advanced Placement classes is open to all
students looking to further their knowledge in areas that will aid in their
college / university studies. Students choosing to take an alternative path
also thrive in our balanced learning environment, which builds a wide variety
of skills critical to their future success. Our students thrive on the
expectation of maximizing their potential in our academic programs.
In addition to earning
their diplomas, our students learn and develop leadership skills that will
ensure their success in whatever future they choose to pursue beyond their AAS
experience. Our students stride into the Global Public Space, confident in
their ability to lead and support others, understand and appreciate their own
cultures and personal histories, and are open to the perspectives, values and
traditions of other individuals and communities. They understand the importance
of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being,
and their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and
personal development. Achieving our educational mission requires a partnership
between students, parents and the school; we welcome your participation in
fulfilling this all important mission.
