Our Students:

  • Our student body is a creative and diverse group of local and international students who welcome newcomers to the school.
  • Given the diverse make up of our student population – culturally, socially, academically, and economically – we have designed a schedule flexible enough to accurately address our students’ needs yet structured enough to ensure competitive classes.
  • We understand that some students may have more ability than has been shown by past performance.  We have been successful in helping such students achieve closer to their true potential. 
  • Recent graduating classes have included students who entered Brown University, Cal Poly, Oberlin college, Reed College, Stanford University, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, University of Hawaii, University of San Francisco, and Williams University.  Our students also enter State Universities and Junior Colleges.

A note to students:
