Congratulations, Class of 2025!
High school shouldn’t be “one size fits all.” We connect students with the schools best designed to help them thrive, including some of the most selective day and boarding schools in the country. See where our eighth graders were accepted and where they’re heading after graduation.
Inquire about our openings for the 2025–2026 school year in select grades.
Much of our early learning program is at capacity, but we are accepting applications in select lower and middle school grades.
14 Acres of Learning & Growth Opportunities
Our child-centered and innovative academic programs take place across a 14-acre campus, a certified wildlife habitat that provides our students with indoor and outdoor learning spaces, including state-of-the-art technology labs, gymnasiums, maker spaces, science labs, and libraries, as well as an athletic field, nature trails, a brook, a pond, outdoor classroom patios, educational gardens, and playgrounds.
Program Spotlight: Robotics
From basic building to advanced programming, our robotics program empowers students of all ages and experience levels to develop essential engineering skills. We nurture problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and a love for STEM, igniting a lifelong interest in innovation. “If we want our students to shape the future, we need to give them the tools — and robotics is one of the most powerful tools we have,” says Head of School Marek Beck, Ph.D.
