Our high school program emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving, encouraging students to utilize their knowledge and skills beyond themselves. Students engage in conversations, analysis of current issues, application of learning and further develop academic, social, and emotional skills that will support them in higher education and in their ability to be a self-sufficient, motivated, contributing member of society. Curriculum focuses on setting high standards for success that students will carry with them to university and throughout their lives.
