    The open house will provide an overview of the school's integrated curriculum and assessment practices. The Program of Inquiry consists of six units lasting six weeks each, with each unit built around a key concept. Students are assessed through formative and summative methods, including pre-assessments, assessments during units, end-of-unit assessments, and portfolios selected by students with reflections. Report cards are issued twice a year. An example activity is building a freestanding tower out of drinking straws in groups to demonstrate cooperation.
