WE START WITH THE STUDENT.
Focused Study
By approaching only two subjects each term in a four-term academic year, our students are able to truly concentrate on the topics before them.
Deeper Learning
Our block approach allows students to spend several hours a day on each subject, giving them a chance to explore critical questions and deepen their understanding of complex topics.
Very Small Classes
We average only eight students a class – a structure that encourages classroom discussion rather than lectures and collaboration over competition.
City-Wide Experiences
We use DC as our classroom, getting out into the city frequently to complement and enhance our academic work.
