High Academic Standards

Small student-to-teacher ratios allow for discussion and exploration, which are critical aspects of higher education.

Our high school students are also afforded more opportunities to grow personally through extracurriculars, competitive varsity sports, and leadership options.

College-Style Format

The high school follows a college-style school format, with two full on-campus school days and three satellite classroom days. Students complete their teacher-directed assignments under parental supervision in a satellite classroom.
