High School
The High School program is
designed to provide opportunities to develop the thinking process, to
mature in powers of expression, and to gain knowledge of the world. At
the same time it recognizes that it is up to the individual student to
strive for personal understanding and commitment. We believe that each
student must take ownership of their education.
