The next step is now.
Senior year of high school can be a tricky time… the last boundary, it seems, before the possibilities of real life open up. As part of our Strategic Plan, we began to ask ourselves: Why do seniors have to wait to take that important next step?
Senior Seminar, College Focus
To help students hone the college search and application, as well as overcome the potential pressure and isolation of this period, the fall Senior Seminar (approximately 12 seniors per seminar) will offer a guided, supportive, and collaborative forum.
Collaboration with Outside Experts
Community experts in many fields come to campus to advise and guide students as they revise and pursue their Essential Question
February Mentorship
Seniors spend the month off-campus, working with their mentor to gain applied experience and on-the-ground learning
Senior Capstone
Students use Trimester 3 as a time to synthesize their learning, culminating in a presentation before a rigorous audience to ensure accountability and motivation.
