Academics
read moreWe blend interesting, traditional course work with real world training. Most of our courses are in those good solid subjects that students of previous generations used to study. We believe that the trendy courses that have crept into mainstream public school curricula in recent decades have in large measure been detrimental to meaningful student achievement. Those courses have been designed more for "fun" and "self-esteem building" than for serious education. A solid foundation in traditional, core subjects must be built before moving on to light and experimental courses.
