A purposeful education provides three main elements: knowledge, opportunities, and citizenship. Through the distinctive College-Model Academic Program (CMAP), students are helped to develop not only knowledge about the world, but also a love of learning that will serve them throughout their lifetimes. The small classes (with a student-to-teacher ratio of six to one) allow the space and time for extended learning and in-depth exploration of subject matter. Students take three major courses each semester, which adds up to six challenging college-preparatory courses per year.
