A school
built for
boys.
No one knows boys better.
That’s why each gets his own customized education plan and the support of our staff of learning specialists.
Climbing the walls comes naturally.
Boys are loud and messy and can't sit still. And that's completely okay. We're experts at directing that energy.
We bring out the best in boys.
Our character education program, Building Boys, Making Men, is integrated into every corner of our campus.
A state-of-the-boy campus.
Macbooks, Mandarin, Design Thinking, and Maker’s Club. Even our littlest guys are learning to code.
