Aimée Bates headshotOur Upper Division students immerse themselves in an academic experience that inspires discovery. Through data-informed instruction and the guidance of outstanding teachers, they tackle complex questions—whether exploring scientific principles and artistic expression, connecting history with the present, or conducting research that brings ideas to life. Motivated by a sense of purpose and fueled by a curiosity-driven curriculum, our students build a meaningful understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Meet Our Faculty

Our Upper Division faculty combine deep subject expertise with a passion for student-centered learning. As mentors and educators, they create an intellectually vibrant environment where students are encouraged to explore interests, take academic risks, and find joy in discovery.

The Role of the Faculty Advisor

Every student is paired with a dedicated faculty advisor who serves as their personal mentor and academic guide. As the primary bridge between families and the school, advisors maintain regular communication with parents and guardians. Through one-on-one mentoring and small group sessions, advisors monitor both academic and personal development, ensuring each student receives the support they need to thrive.

College Center

Our expert college center team is available to help design a strategic search process that takes account of your academic work and community involvement, to set you on an inspiring course as your journey unfolds.
