Academics Upper School Upper School Philosophy (Grades 9 through 12) Our mission is to provide an encouraging, positive and nurturing environment in which our students' strengths are emphasized and maximum potential is reached. As students grow, we strive to provide an academic program which is both developmentally appropriate and challenging to the intellectual capabilities of all of our students. We are aware of the accommodations needed for our students and address these needs by teaching to and making students aware of their learning styles. In the Upper School, we strive to teach our students the skills necessary for successful learning and living as young adults. These skill areas include: critical thinking skills; study habits; group dynamics; social interaction and awareness; and active community involvement/service. We believe that students have the capability to engage in positive decision-making and are able to accept responsibility for those decisions. Therefore, we encourage students to increase their sense of discipline, responsibility and motivation. Our goal is to assist and guide students in the tasks which promote development of self-confidence, self-esteem, and the realization of self-efficacy.

In this course, through improvisational scene work, theater games, and story telling, students will develop their ability to act and interact freely and perceptively. They will have the opportunity to study acting techniques and work at short scenes, learning to trust their abilities in new, untried situations, and taking risks that help develop confidence in their ability to think on their feet, whether in school, social or dramatic situations. They will also discover how to become more aware of their environment and how to be supportive of others. Improvisational theater helps students expand their creativity and, therefore, influences every area of life and studies.
