Through small classes, hands-on learning, and differentiated courses, our faculty nurture and challenge students to reach their full academic, athletic, and artistic potential as we help prepare them to navigate the future with success.
Eligible students may be awarded scholarships and financial aid awards ranging from $1,500 to full tuition for all four years until graduation.
