Our Vision
Our approach to vertically aligning the full educational experience for our students from youngest to oldest centers around three notions – Prepare, Explore, and Empower – that keep us grounded in The Academy’s mission and vision as we set priorities and make decisions that impact instruction and school culture.
Our Progress
The Academy's Board of Directors and Senior Admin Team track the school's progress toward key strategic goals using a scorecard for each of our Strategic Plan categories: Instruction, Culture, Finance, and Operations.

Highlight on Explore: Work-Based Learning
All students explore their strengths and passions through real-world learning
Meaningful learning happens beyond the physical boundaries of school.

Our internships, work-study options, and entrepreneurship sequence promote learning about work, learning through work, and learning at work.
