Who Should Apply?

While our curriculum is undoubtedly rigorous, this program is not meant solely for top-performing students. Rather, we seek engaged and curious young people who are looking for a challenge. In many cases, a lack of interest, rather than a lack of capacity, can be the cause of poor performance in school. For this reason, we base our admissions decisions on one-on-one interviews, writing assessments, and our application process in addition to student transcripts. Any interested student should reach out to us directly and speak to their guidance counselor to let them know about their interest in the program.
