The Mastery Program is a unique experience that inspires students to discover and further develop and area of focus and passion during specific learning periods. From dance to track, music to cooking, visual arts to S.T.E.A.M., cinema, writing, and more, students take time to reflect on their personal areas of interest and ability, and undergo a placement process into the most appropriate mastery program for them at that time.
Lessons learned in mastery programs transfer to all other areas of learning. When you learn and master any new skill, you reinforce and enhance the connections you already have. Special emphasis is placed on individual interests, skills, and talents, and how to apply them to everyday learning and growth.
Junior Mastery
