Active bodies. Our experience and research show that consistent outdoor time helps students to be actively engaged in the classroom and socially with their peers.

Our teachers love working with middle school boys! They meet the boys where they are developmentally and embrace the messiness that is middle school. 

Understanding, not just memorization. We provided many opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. This helps to activate interest, attention, and multimodal learning.

Learning happens in relationship. We are a community first and school second. Middle school boys need a sense of belonging and connectedness in order for learning and growth to happen.
 

Discovering themselves. Through weekly exploratories, our arts program, sports, after-school clubs, and numerous activities, our students are given opportunities to discover and explore interests. 

Preparing boys to be the best possible versions of themselves. This is our goal for each student - academically, intellectually, and socially-emotionally. Over 80% of our graduates go on to application-based high schools. Our 8th grade high school prep program helps them to navigate and prepare for the next steps in their education.
