Adolescent Community (Ages 11-15)

The AIS approach to middle school education involves a rigorous, individually-paced curriculum that is presented in a small nurturing environment. 

Students attend school from 8:25am-3pm. In addition to preparing themselves for any high school they would like to attend, our students work on life skills that will serve them well beyond their academic years.
