Optimism
We always create the authentic positivity that our scholars and team need, wherever we go, even in tough moments.
Growth
We always ask how we can improve and use data to inform our actions.
Empathy
We always listen and build strong relationships to create a known-loved-respected (KLR) community.
ACADEMICS
We focus on preparing our scholars for college and career, starting in 6th grade. Our scholars take courses in humanities, science, math, social studies, and computer science. Middle school scholars have one teacher for math, science, and computer science, and one teacher for English language arts and humanities. This allows teachers to make connections across the curriculum, build stronger relationships with students, and better meet students’ learning needs.
EXTRACURRICULARS & SPORTS
In addition to rigorous academics, we offer extracurricular activities and athletics to help middle school scholars build college- and career-ready skills.
