We focus on teaching the skills that lead to academic success: critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving. Because students are not ‘tracked,’ they are exposed to a variety of teaching and learning methods that demonstrate there is more than one way to think, process information, and express an idea. This is what we describe as diversity in learning. The result? Responsible, prepared, and driven graduates who go on to attend the best colleges…and succeed.

Participation in athletics plays a vital role in our students’ lives. Our strong, committed coaching staff is dedicated to help our athletes develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. Try out for a spot on one of our highly competitive varsity teams, practice your skills on a JV team, or join one of many athletic clubs.
