Academics

Our academic program is thoughtfully tailored to boys in grades 4 through 9. From the schedule of the academic day and design of our classes to the choice of faculty who are excited to educate boys across these ages and stages of development, the program encourages active participation, collaboration, and hands-on learning. 

It is also a deliberately broad program, offering a range of learning opportunities that allow teachers to create educational experiences that motivate each boy, engage him in intellectual discovery, and build his confidence. 

The school day not only ensures that a student’s classroom experience will be productive and joyfully focused on learning, but it also provides the time and space for boys to connect informally with classmates and teachers. Visit a classroom and you will see a warm camaraderie between teachers and students, which is evident in the easy give-and-take and respectful affection that they share. Each boy is deeply known and appreciated here.
