We take a holistic approach in reviewing applications for admission. Aside from being on track to receive your high school diploma (or attained it already), we review the applicant as a whole, not as a number. We have eliminated any standardized testing requirements for general admission. We choose our students based on their proficiency in school and their commitment to leadership and growth outside of the classroom.
