Adolescent Program · 6th Grade and Up
Ready for the Real World — and Ready to Lead It
Our Adolescent community prepares students for the challenges of the real world with advanced academic studies and genuine opportunities to demonstrate leadership and community impact.
The adolescent years, done differently
A Program Built Around Purpose
Adolescence is when students are most hungry for meaning, autonomy, and real responsibility. Our program channels that energy into rigorous academics and authentic work.
Advanced, Personalized Academics
Adolescents work through rigorous core academics — including mastery-based math with our Math Academy partnership — at a pace matched to their readiness, with mentorship from subject-area guides.
Real-World Engineering & Design
Through SystemsGo and our Innovation & Design Lab, students take on authentic engineering challenges: designing, prototyping, testing, and iterating like real practitioners.
Leadership in Practice
Adolescents lead — mentoring younger students in our mixed-age community, running projects, and taking part in multi-day leadership camps with Nature's Classroom Institute.
Community Impact
Service projects and local partnerships give students authentic opportunities to contribute — building initiative, empathy, and a lifelong commitment to making a difference.
Powered by Our Partnerships
Adolescent students benefit most from our specialist partnerships: mastery-based math with Math Academy, engineering with SystemsGo, diagnostics and skill practice with IXL, arts with Cordovan Art School and Inspired Minds theater, and leadership camps with Nature's Classroom Institute.
Looking Ahead: High School
We expect to grow into a late adolescent (high school) program in the coming years — with capstone experiences and real-world application at its core.
