Our Academic Approach

We aim to meet every student where she is, and encourage her to own her learning and to take intellectual risks, to explore, to set — and meet—higher expectations for herself. Our teachers invite active questioning and discussion, and promote a growth mindset in the classroom so that students develop the confidence to embrace academic challenges and grow from them.
