Higher-Order Thinking
A new world of possibilities and challenges welcomes freshmen when they open the doors to the Upper School building. Here, students partner with talented and devoted teachers who help them uncover and amplify their unique strengths and purpose.
It is through this program that students come to understand their place in the world, the value of cross-culture understanding, and the myriad opportunities that await.
Upper School students spend the first two years (Levels 9-10) in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), which culminates in the Personal Project. As juniors, they move into the highly regarded International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP), which challenges students to synthesize all they have learned throughout their educational journey and display mastery in each course as well as the Extended Essay.
Together, the MYP and DP curriculum provide university-level classes that expand the scope of academic work as students grow confident in their abilities, gain clarity about passions, and learn to leave behind their comfort zone.

Compassionate Global Citizenship
Because compassionate global citizenship requires multiple, personal encounters with cultures all over the world, international travel is fully integrated into the Upper School curriculum. Yearly trips to destinations such as Japan, Iceland, Prague, and Costa Rica, create deep bonds and inspire global awareness—a perspective critical to lifelong growth and learning.
