Upper Years Education

Welcome to the Upper Years

Middle & High School (Grades 6-9)

With the guidance of diverse local and seasonal specialist mentors, our maturing Upper Years students are invited to assume greater responsibility, self-direction, and leadership. Passion-driven research, personal projects, internships, conscious business management, and an introduction to mindful educational technologies are new layers to their learning trajectories. Formal evaluation, home learning, and social-emotional coaching sessions with our on-site psychologist are all introduced in Upper Years to add accountability & depth to their studies. As we grow with our current eldest children, our Upper Years has been and will continue to be a co-creation among our Middle  & High School specialist mentors, the children, and our parents.
