One of our core values is uplifting—and implementing—student voice and perspective. From student choice in the classroom to our Principal Advisory, which helps to shape school-wide decisions, we put students in the driver’s seat of their educational experience. We strive for academic excellence and a strong sense of community by ensuring every student receives the right support and opportunities needed to prepare for their future!
