Academics

Academic effectiveness is a key component to the integrated program at the Academy at Swift River. We offer a college preparatory high school curriculum which focuses on reuniting students with academic success. Our students are bright and capable, though in some cases it has been quite some time since they have integrated their role as "student" as part of their identity. These same students have a celebrated track record of placement at their first and second choice of schools upon completion.

Our charge is to provide students with ample opportunities to learn and apply the academic skills which they will need at university and beyond, while inviting students to partake in the wealth of knowledge scholastic curricula can offer. In the true spirit of a liberal arts college preparatory education, we guide our students in discovering their own answers to life's tough questions:
"Who am I?"
"What is interdependence?"
"How does the world work and what is my place in it?"
Our program fosters this spirit of inquiry by combining rigorous college-preparatory academics with many opportunities to observe, test, and integrate new knowledge, skills, and ways of being.
