Most of all, we strive to be an intellectual community where our students feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their opinions. We do not have any testing requirements to be accepted into our school so students of varying backgrounds enter into our program.

The fossil casting and fossil digs were great laid-back activities to follow our quarter exam.\r\nWe'll be using the radiometric dating lab this week as we start to explore fossils and dinosaurs, followed by a pigeon dissection to get an internal look at a modern-day dinosaur.
