Grade 9

Our goal in the Upper School is to prepare our students for success in college and in life. We believe that students must learn to be creative thinkers who can solve problems and adapt to new challenges. Our Upper School students benefit from an extensive and academically rigorous array of course offerings. In addition to the Honors Program, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB), we provide opportunities for notable co-curricular offerings such as Design Thinking, Digital Media Arts, and Entrepreneurial Studies bridging subject areas like math, science, and art. One new class is called Social Entrepreneurship. In this course, students develop creative solutions to real-world problems through involvement with the Palm Beach Philanthropy Tank competition.
