Our Mission

The School of Choice actively engages gifted and motivated students in rigorous scholarship while developing their aesthetic and athletic talents; their success builds confidence that, in turn, raises expectations and boosts results. Supportive instructors teach a classical curriculum which helps students mature into responsible, creative leaders -- successful adults who have learned integrity and wisdom, who live passionately and lead with justice and compassion.

Our college preparatory academy currently serves aspiring middle school students, and selected high school students, qualified to take college-level classes. Our well-planned curriculum, tracking system, testing, and honors programs provide intellectual challenges for students and teachers alike. Carefully structured private school diagnostic tests gauge our students' knowledge and demonstrate their improved performance on standardized tests. Performance on tests alone does not measure all of the students' abilities and capacities; for this reason, we provide creative projects and atmosphere to augment our standard curriculum.

The School of Choice hires empathetic, experienced teachers with advanced degrees or credentials. Like the best university professors, our teachers love to share ideas and controversies in their fields with bright young minds. We empower teachers as leaders: our professional educators are free to teach that which each knows best taken from the world's greatest books and ideas -- teaching with humor, variety and creativity. Our staff gives students warm encouragement, sound guidance and wise counsel. We welcome diverse students without regard to race, gender, creed, ethnicity or disability, and empower them with inspiration to instill habits of character and learning to last a lifetime. Like Dr. Martin Luther King, we believe that students should "…not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
