Student Life

Explore & Grow

As our classical curriculum for junior high and high school expands students’ minds, our diverse array of extracurricular activities provides students many ways of exploring their interests, trying something new, and growing in mind, body, and soul. Students will build friendships, gain leadership experience, and spark new interests. Our unique co-op and tri-op sports also give expanded opportunities both for team sports and new friendships with peers at our partner schools, Madison Country Day School, Abundant Life Christian School, Edgewood High School, and St. Maria Goretti Parish School.
