We are actively working to concurrently prepare our students for college and careers.

Our school has built in common planning time for teachers, student personalization groups, and supports for students who are struggling and students who excel. We are actively rewriting curricula in the academic core and in our student choice courses. In order to enhance learning and teaching we implemented a Learning Management System (LMS) and grade book that can be accessed by parents. Our LMS, provides a virtual space for student and teacher collaboration and enables teachers and staff to produce digital assignments, to communicate with students and families, and to run analytics that provide information on student performance and the frequency and timeliness of their learning activities.
