Education Structure
Each of the three grades is divided into multiple teams. Students are supposedly randomly distributed to a random team, according to their grade. Each team usually has a set of four academic teachers who coordinate team events, team schedules, and team curriculum. Teams of the same grade usually meet to coordinate grade events as well as to discuss the education of the whole student body. The teams (year '09-'10) by grade are as follows:
- 6th Grade: Illumination (O'Neil, Milne, Grossman, Rutherford, Dillane), Aspire (S. Dillon, G. Miller), Synergy (M. Dillon, Fritsch, C. Miller, Maguire), Zenith (Amdur, Weiss, Daley-Savo, Watroba, Kellachan)
- 7th Grade: Dream (Atwell, Baisley, Egeler, Stathis, Bergman), Imagine (Jeran, Kastanis, Ley, Mineo, Costello), Triumph (Funnell, Halpern, Smollon, Zlotnick, Seibert)
- 8th Grade: Endeavor (Arce, Colaizzi, Sheeran, Miller, Smythe), Integrity (Balanda, Smith, Balassi, Faughnan, Hamilton, Laffey), Summit (Finnegan, Ciancio, O'Gorman, Perlin, Pizzorusso)

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or structure:
“There used to be housekeepers with more energy than sense—the everlasting scrubber; the over-neat woman. Since the better education of woman has come to stay, this type of woman has disappeared almost, if not entirely.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
