By approaching only two subjects each term in a four-term academic year, our students are able to truly concentrate on the topics before them.

Our block approach allows students to spend several hours a day on each subject, giving them a chance to explore critical questions and deepen their understanding of complex topics.

We average only eight students a class – a structure that encourages classroom discussion rather than lectures and collaboration over competition.

We use DC as our classroom, getting out into the city frequently to complement and enhance our academic work.
