Typical Day

People do their best work when they are fresh and alert. For this reason, we allow students to schedule their five major academic courses before lunch. At midmorning, there is a 20-minute break during which Café B and the game room are open for snacks and fun. By combining the unproductive minutes that most schools place between classes, we have created a relaxing and meaningful social experience for students, and a chance to gear up for the rest of the morning.

After morning classes, students gather in Café B for lunch. Hot meals, sandwiches, salads and beverages are always available. Students may also bring food from home if they prefer. During lunch, students also have activities in the student lounge or computer lab.

For the rest of the day, students participate in elective courses. These areas include performing arts, athletics, physical education, fine arts and photography.

Class schedules remain consistent from day to day. This allows students to focus their energies on what is going on in class, rather than where they are supposed to be at any given moment. It also helps to build a sense of organization and consistency.
