Academics
The class schedule is a traditional seven period day on Monday, Tuesday and Friday and an alternating block system Wednesday and Thursday. Chapel is offered Tuesdays and Thursdays. A tutorial hour is a part of the schedule once a week, during which students can meet with teachers to discuss classwork. Tutorial does not have required attendance. Life Groups (begun in 2008) meet every other week and offer a time of student-to-student collaboration.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
