Embrace the Power of Why

We believe in the power of curiosity. We champion exploration, critical thinking and risk-taking. And, within a community where you are known, supported and valued, we help you discover the answer to​,​ "What's your why?"

Where Curiosity Grows

Curiosity is about possibilities. It’s about getting your hands dirty. When you’re paired with teachers whose curiosity matches yours, you create a community in which everything is possible. That’s how students learn that they have the power to change the world. We’re a school that’s optimized for exploration.

All in, Always

It’s more than our thoughtful, student-centered curriculum, the way our teachers recognize you as an individual or the spaces we’ve engineered to bring us together with minimal stress for maximal collaboration. It’s our deep-seated culture of mutual support and togetherness. Look around and you’ll see a community that reflects the world and an environment in which you can try new things. We like to connect with each other. We like to get everything we can out of a day.

Beyond Brilliant

It’s not about having the highest test scores or winning the championship, even though we can and do. It’s about always continuing the quest, embracing setbacks and believing that each day brims with possibilities. We never stop learning about the world or each other. Here, it's about more than knowing yourself and building your own capacity; it’s about understanding the privilege it is to know, care for and believe in one another. We celebrate people here.
