We offer all of our students a rigorous, yet balanced, inquiry-based education on a full time basis over an 11 month period. Lessons are 50 minutes in duration and the school day runs from 8.30 - 3.30 daily.

Throughout the academic year, our students are involved in highly engaging learning experiences which develop not only their academic understanding but also their sense of responsibility to the world in which they live.
