from grades 9-12 within the framework of a Montessori Adolescent program. Courses will

an atmosphere of mutual respect and support. The program provides a consistent, yet

flexible, structure; high expectations for work and conduct; a system of

accountability; opportunities for student-led learning; and a focus on

problem-solving. The curriculum promotes independence, self-direction, metacognition,

and critical thinking. At its core, the collective elements of the program are a means to build

community, discover passion, deepen curiosity, and provide experiences for each

adolescent to engage deeply and meaningfully in self-discovery.
