Transformation is coming to the Academy!
Be a part of the change in 2020-21
Real Learning, Now!
We prepare students for a world of opportunity by directly engaging them with that world in authentic ways. We assume the future is one that promotes life-long learning and growth and students are given the tools to begin that journey immediately. We believe students perform at high levels if they are engaged in work that is meaningful and relevant, and are surrounded by a supportive environment based on mutual trust, respect, responsibility, and high expectations.
Project-Based Learning & Early College High School Combined!
We combine two years of intensive deeper-learning skill building through project-based learning with a flexible upper-class progression of college and career coursework to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attributes to chart their own course for future success. Students can expect to leave the Academy with plans for their future and skills to pursue them.

INCubator Preview
In your Junior year, students will enroll in a course that offers an authentic entrepreneurship experience. Collaboratively students build a business. Real entrepreneurs and industry experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors guiding student teams through the processes of developing hypotheses about a business concept, testing those hypotheses, adapting, and continually learning and improving. All career pathways will benefit from this experience of innovating and problem solving. This is a true 21st century learning experience for our students. (Click image above for more information)
