Most notably, we have a unique schedule in which students take two classes a day per quarter. This allows students to deeply engage with the subjects they’re studying. Instead of jumping from class-to-class in 45-minute increments, students typically spend 2 hours and 20 minutes Tuesdays/Fridays or Mondays/Thursdays to explore each subject. This also supports our experiential approach to learning.
We take hands-on learning seriously and use the city’s vast resources to deepen our understanding of the world and the subjects we’re studying. We’re a small school where familiar faces abound. We keep class sizes intentionally small, which allows students to be known and engage every day.
