Since opening in 2011 in the historic L&N building, the school has earned a reputation for its approach to education, which weaves STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) throughout the curriculum. Students spend much of the day in project-based learning that spans traditional courses and utilizes the latest technology.

Parents are taking notice of the schools innovative approach and results. There is a waiting list of students interested in attending. The school’s success is due to the forward thinking of the founding principal Becky Ashe and her team of dedicated teachers.
