- Summits Program: Examines the interconnected world we live in and how data can make life easier through self-driving cars or automated repetitive tasks. It also tackles ethics and the code of conduct that comes with data collection. Students are introduced to students to basic coding, and learn how to use the Circuit Playground and Adafruit Feather to make sensors, data feeds, and interactive machines to gather information from all around us.
- Study Abroad Program: Every year, our students travel for one trimester on study abroad programs made possible through our network of partner schools: Centro Docente Maria in Seville, Spain, Lycée Emmanuel Mounier in Angers, France, The Affiliated High School of National ChengChi University in Taipei, Taiwan, and Dajing High School in Shanghai, China.
- Outdoor Program: Provides a range of opportunities for students to understand, interact with, and care for themselves, each other, and the natural world. Together, we go on one-day and weekend adventures to build snow caves, backpack on the Olympic Coast, bike around Lopez Island — and that’s just the beginning.
