What we value

  • Curated Educational Experiences — Learning is a journey, not a formula to be followed. We strive to create curated and collaborative educational experiences that support each student in harnessing their unique abilities and exercising them to their fullest potential, to excel in college and anywhere else life takes them next.
  • Engaged Community — It is our responsibility to provide students with the support they need to succeed. We have created an academic environment that prioritizes the whole of who our students are as humans and brings community, connection, and student wellness to the forefront.
  • Access & Opportunity — Independent education is both an investment for most families and an incredibly valuable foundation for a student’s future. Our sliding scale tuition model creates a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where students from all around the globe can belong.
  • Developing Impactful Individuals — Our society needs innovators who use their ideas and abilities to change the world for the better. By teaching students how to communicate with confidence and share their unique expertise with conviction and evidence, we aid them in becoming self-actualized individuals who know how to make a positive impact.
