Students in the 英语 Department will develop into sensitive and critical readers of fiction, 非小说类, 诗歌, and drama through reading, 讨论, 和写作.

数学, 科学, and Technology Department is designed to include themes rooted in history, systems in equilibrium, 自然界的模式, 能量转换, and resource conservation, and computational reasoning.

An in-depth exploration of history, 心理学, 哲学, and the likes; the ability to understand the human experience outside of one’s own individual social and cultural context allows students to develop a conscience more suited to the multicultural world in which they live.

The foundational 哲学 of the World Language courses is that language, 讨论, 反射, and imagination lead to the development of skills which help students understand and interpret the human experience.

Over half of Academy students enroll in one (or more) honors level or AP courses. 

Academic and 艺术 Electives are offered to students of all arts departments. They provide a chance to study a different 纪律 or view a specific art through an academic lens. Students are encouraged to explore these 纪律s outside of their chosen department.
