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:
“Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
