Our Academic Model

Discover the cornerstone of our academic philosophy: the Harkness Method. Rooted in collaborative learning and student-led discussions, this innovative approach fosters critical thinking, effective communication, and the development of conversational intelligence. In a Harkness Discussion, students and teachers gather around a round table, creating an egalitarian environment where all voices are valued. Through active engagement with texts and open dialogue, students cultivate skills such as argumentation, complex thinking, and empathy. With small class sizes and a focus on personal responsibility for learning, the Harkness Method empowers students to become active participants in their education. Explore how this transformative pedagogy prepares students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
