上学校

An education in four years, but for the next four decades, and beyond.We provide students with the hallmarks of a classic liberal arts education with an emphasis on reflection, collaboration, and grappling with complexity, as they prepare to engage, shape and contribute to an ever-changing world.

Effective learning environments are highly relational. The cornerstone of everything we do in the 上学校 is built upon the foundation of the student-teacher relationship. In addition to being experts in their fields, our faculty understand and appreciate the wonder and tensions of adolescence, and they strike the appropriate balance of challenge and support.

作为班级成员, 报告, 团队, 乐团, 俱乐部, and other community activities, our students are presented with hundreds of opportunities to develop their skills, 为了扩大他们的视野, and to pursue their passions. Every student can charter their own unique path through this educational experience.
