I've been at this school for 7 years and I love it. The small size allows for great support from your peers and teachers, and allows us to have unique opportunities, like the three week long Experience Centered Seminars in March, which focus in one course not a normal part of school and can involve travel local, national, or international. If academics, unique experiences, and being supported are what you want, this school is an amazing candidate.

This school is magical. Kids can be kids, but they also motivate each other toward higher levels of success. Faculty take a sincere interest in students and families.

The only thing that could use some work are freeing up some of the requirement classes so that we can have more electives.

Although we have been at the school a short time, my son has blossomed and loves coming to school each day. The opportunities for hands on learning and outdoor education are unmatched. I have found the teachers to be extremely caring and hardworking.

The school mission is to shape the students into “leaders wh...

We had a terrible experience with this school. There are almost no opportunities for parents to engage with on-site school events or interact with other families. There is basically zero diversity but they try to promote themselves as this socially woke school that is so diverse. It’s so performativ...
