Academic Classes & Other Programs
College-Preparatory Curriculum (Upper School)
Each student is valued for her unique talents, abilities and interests, and she has a myriad of opportunities to find her academic niche. Whether tackling the challenges of Advanced Placement courses or learning the fundamentals of producing a newspaper; delving into the intricacies of creating ceramics or engineering a working robot; immersing in the delights of other cultures and languages or finding her voice on-stage – Academy students can try it all.
Full Option Science System (Lower School)
Through Full Option Science System (FOSS), students question, conducting inquiries and investigations; they find answers, developing analyses of what is and why it is. Beginning in kindergarten, students learn through observation. In later years, they learn to relate these observations to what is known, test their ideas in logical ways and generate explanations that add to their body of knowledge.
Everyday Mathematics Program (Lower School)
Under the Everyday Mathematics (EM) program, specific grade level skills are laid and built upon; games help students master and reinforce skills and concepts; technology is engaged and interwoven; and problem-solving in real life situations is fostered.
