Our Program

A SOLID FOUNDATION

  • School assemblies at the end of each day will allow the principal to connect with students, foster a culture of brotherhood and provide lessons in character development.
  • Leadership skills will be woven into the curriculum and practiced throughout the day with the aim of shaping tomorrow’s thinkers and instilling in them the belief that they can make a difference in the world.
  • A vital ingredient to success is discipline - without it, even our best efforts can fall short. We will use the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system to teach this valuable trait.

 

A STRONG MIND

  • Project-based learning that requires students apply their knowledge to real-world problems, providing hands-on exploration and investigation
  • Accommodation of flexible learning styles, ample physical movement, increased use of visuals, competitive learning opportunities and other research-based instructional methods that appeal to boys
  • Pre-Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement courses in the 8th grade in preparation for graduation at the Distinguished Level of Achievement
  • Daily staff development and collaboration time for teachers in core subjects to ensure consistent delivery of quality, challenging instruction tailored to the male learner.

 

A PLACE TO GROW

  • Outside-the-box extracurriculars supported by artists-in-residence that could include karate, meditation or yoga as part of PE and guitar and choir through music classes.
  • An afterschool program that blends academic pursuits with enrichment opportunities.
  • A safe learning environment where boys have the time and space to be themselves without feeling competitive with or distracted by the opposite gender during crucial stages of adolescent development.
