High School
|
What makes us different? Lively and rigourous academics!
We are a high school where the multiple intelligences that students bring are honored. Many schools use a lecture based learning pedagogy, but sitting in class after class for 50 minute periods listening to lectures works for only a very small population of learners. Our program of integrated, project-based learning requires a multitude of skills and creativity that makes for an exciting and meaningful educational experience. Classes in Ethics, International Relations, and Human Behavior, as well as United Nations simulations lead to spirited debate and provide learning opportunities across skill sets. Given our educational style and small classes it is simply not possible for students to be disengaged in their learning. |
