We believe in
We believe in relationship-based, personalized learning. We believe schools should adapt to the needs of the student, not the other way around.
WHAT SETS US APART
Rather than a large class ratio of 1:30, we teach core academics in the one-to-one model we founded over 30 years ago and have been perfecting ever since. This teaching model helps students’ master academic fundamentals and is proven to produce better learning outcomes.
Experience Futures
Our commencement ceremonies are personalized in a variety of ways. During the diploma presentation, instructors speak personally to each student, sharing thoughtful memories and observations. A rose ceremony follows, where each graduate is given a rose and asked to present it to someone who is a source of inspiration to them.
FUTURES BLOG
We create schedules that align to students’ optimal learning times and leave time for exploring their interests outside of the classroom.
