Program Spotlight: ADVANCED STUDIES
Our middle school students are reaching new academic heights! This year, they can take challenging high school courses. These advanced courses, supported in partnership with a fully accredited online school, allow students to learn at their own pace while receiving expert guidance from EMS faculty. Head of School Marek Beck, Ph.D., envisions that the program will continue to set a very high bar for rigorous academics coupled with discovering budding passions that may turn into career pathways.
