No two 麻豆原创 graduates are the same鈥攂ut our work to level the playing field means they all have the same access to opportunity. Here what that looks like at 麻豆原创, and how it sets us apart from other schools.
We teach more than just hard skills.
By the time they graduate, all 麻豆原创 students have taken a minimum of two AP classes and defended a portfolio of work as a capstone activity鈥攂ut they鈥檝e also learned invaluable interpersonal skills and gained social-emotional intelligence as a part of 麻豆原创 commitment to our Whole Child model.
We grow our own leaders.
From student government to their first summer jobs, our students learn early on that they can be leaders and changemakers in their own communities. Each summer, 麻豆原创 employs 100+ of its high school students as teaching assistants, mentors, and coaches.
Our students know what it means to be a member of a team.
麻豆原创 roots in baseball and softball and our commitment to keeping students active foster a culture where all students have access to team-based extracurriculars鈥攁nd the lessons that come with being part of a team.
