We aim to create learning environments that support students in reaching their full potential as curious, compassionate, and capable global citizens who are gifted at collaborating in TEAms and navigating complex challenges.

Our founders believed this type of innovative school was possible and put the building blocks (academics, character, adventure, constructive adversity and real world learning) into place so that we could achieve something remarkable, not only for the students who could afford to pay, but also for those who couldn’t. Day in and day out we ask the “impossible” of our teachers. We ask them to exhibit exemplary skills both inside the classroom and outside. We ask them to model adaptability, empathy and advocacy and to help nurture those traits in their students. We ask them to be problem solvers, and to celebrate the problems solving skills of their students. Ultimately, we are asking them to build our students’ capacity to thrive in the new world, where social intelligence, adaptability and creativity are paramount.

Our vision is ambitious: Build character through calculated risk taking while studying the complex problems of today in the real world.
