Total commitment on the part of the teachers, they are invested in the success of the students. Love the Harkness teaching method that causes the students to fully engage. Chapel is stimulating and often student led. There is a lot of leadership development Chapel worship is nothing shy of amazing

Choosing Ambassador was one of the best decisions of my life. The staff is so supportive and understanding of any needs, be they physical or mental, and I've developed great relationships with all of them. Ambassador's small size actually allows you to be a part of more clubs and sports as there are spots for everyone.

Students are put through rigorous academics with lots of individual support and mentoring from their teachers and school staff. You just don't get that kind of attention in other academic settings. The Harkness method and other cutting edge practices really ensure that students not only know the aca...
