Adolescent Program
Our Adolescent Program is designed to meet the unique needs of
12- to 14-year-olds.
The academic program uses an integrated curriculum and a block class schedule to prepare the students for competitive high schools. Yet, the curriculum is still adapted to each student.The frequent use of seminars and independent studies refines the students' thinking skills in preparation for rigorous secondary school environments.
The Adolescent Program also addresses the social and emotional needs of adolescents. Our students run several businesses, conduct community service, work on a farm, and complete community-based internships as means to build upon and integrate their skills. Through the Adolescent Program, the students begin to develop a sense of who they will be as productive, caring adults in society. Students spend these two years pursuing personal excellence. The Adolescent Program helps them set and attain their highest goals in preparation for their transition to high school.
